As I am in the dark as you DV, I've e mailed a friend in the US to see if they can help. Watch this space.

Primary = proper election with ballot papers
Caucus=people gathering in village halls and gossiping
Both result in election (or selection) of delegates who go to the Party convention in August(ish) who then vote on who should be presidential candidate.

As promised, here is PJ's reply. You got to be joking. To explain the US Political system is next to impossible let alone in ten words or less. All I can give you is a few links to try and help. http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/inde
