Basically, we decide who our state's delegates go for. I've never been to a state caucus before, but to draw an analogy from the district level, what'll probably happen is this: Each legislative district will get a certain number of votes (N) that they get to cast at the state level, and the rules will say that any candidate who gets the support of less than X% of the delegates from that distict, that candidate doesn't get any votes from that district. This is where all the horse trading comes in. Candidates sometimes make deals whereby they'll give each other their under-X% support. Kucinich & Dean did that to Dean's advantage. At the district caucuses X=15. I don't know whether or not once the districts decide who their votes go for, it's winner-take-all for the whole state.
