What is the difference between the New Hampshire primary and the Iowa caucus?

Caucus-Generally speaking, it is a meeting of members of a political party or subgroup to coordinate members' actions, choose group policy, or nominate candidates for various offices.

The term is frequently used in the media to discuss the caucuses used by some states to select presidential nominees, such as the Iowa caucuses. Along these same lines, in early American history, the Congressional nominating caucus and legislative caucus were influential meetings of congressmen to decide the party's nominee for President and party platforms. Similar caucuses were held by the parties at state level.

Primary-A primary election is an election in which voters in a jurisdiction select candidates for a subsequent election (nominating primary). In other words, primary elections are generally when each political party decides its nominee for the upcoming general election.

-The New Hampshire primary is the first of a number of statewide political party primary elections held in the United States every four years, as part of the process of the Democratic and Republican parties choosing their candidate for the presidential elections on the subsequent November. Held in the small New England state of New Hampshire, it traditionally marks the opening of the quadrennial U.S. presidential election, although that status is threatened in 2007 by other states seeking a bigger role in the selection of party nominees. [1]

Since 1952, the primary has been a major testing ground for candidates for the Republican and Democratic nominations. Candidates who do poorly usually have to drop out, while lesser-known, underfunded candidates who do well suddenly become contenders, gaining huge amounts of media attention and money. The media gives New Hampshire - and Iowa, the first state to hold a party caucus, usually a week before the New Hampshire primary - about half of all the attention paid to all states in the primary process, magnifying the state's decision power.[2] This has spurred repeated efforts by out-of-state Democrats to change the rules and by other states to try to attain the status of being the first primary in the nation.[3]

The Iowa caucus is commonly recognized as the first step in the United States Presidential nomination process for both the Democrats and the Republicans. It came to national attention in 1972, with a series of articles in the New York Times on how non-primary states would choose their delegates for the national conventions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_ele...

Is spice legal in Iowa?

Absolutely not. Are you crazy? Spices are very dangerous substances and must be treated with the greatest care. After the Cinnamon Debacle of 2007, spices were outlawed in Iowa. If however, you are in dire need of seasoning, I know a spice smuggler in Des Moines area. Shhhhhh, don't tell anyone.

Seriously, if you are asking about the illegal drug called "spice," it is illegal in most places. It is supposed to be a cannabis (ie. marijuana) substitute. However, it might actually be more harmful than marijuana. It is prohibited under the Controlled Substances Act as a Schedule I illegal drug.

What US Court of Appeals Circuit is Iowa in?

Iowa is in the Eighth Circuit, which covers a large territory:

  • Arkansas
  • Iowa
  • Minnesota
  • Missouri
  • Nebraska
  • North Dakota
  • South Dakota

The US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit regularly sits in St. Paul, Minnesota; Kansas City, Missouri; Omaha, Nebraska; St. Louis, Missouri; and El Dorado, Arkansas. Since Iowa is not among the courts list, it seems reasonable to conclude Iowans are more law-abiding than some of their neighbors.
