Do I need to know about all the other offices in the primary? I don't know who to support in the other offices. Maybe some help with this? Who is the most liberal? I am in Pasadena, TX.

1. The caucus is for the presidential race only
the primary ballot contains all offices up for election this year.

3. There will be resolutions to vote on, too.
Probably things like election reform and getting out of Iraq.

4. The caucuses are mostly about passing resolutions, and you won't caucus for any political offices
except president.
