DEFINITIONS

PRIMARIES
Primaries are generally only open to party members. Democrats and Republicans vote for the candidate they want to be their party's presidential candidate. Republican and Democratic primaries do not have to be held on the same day.

CAUCUSES
Local party members get together for an evening of debate before deciding who they will support for their party's presidential nomination. The process is open for all to see and takes place in someone's home or a town hall rather than a voting booth

See: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/01/03/iowa.caucuses.101/index.html
for more  explanation of the Iowa caucus.

PLEDGED DELEGATES
Won by candidates in primaries and caucuses; pledge to support their candidates at the national conventions.

SUPERDELEGATES
Democratic officeholders and party officials guaranteed national convention seats; can support the candidate of their choice.
