Nah, that is NOT a stupid question... :lol:

A caucus (like what is happening in Iowa right now) basically allows a potential candidate time to sell themselves, put their name out. This usually determines whether or not the candidate is serious or not about possible election.

John, here is the definition of Caucus as it pertains to Iowa

"A meeting of the local members of a political party especially to select delegates to a convention or register preferences for candidates running for office."
