In just over two months the first actual votes will be cast in the process of selecting the presidential candidates for the 2012 election. On the Democratic side, the only credible candidate is the incumbent president - Barack Obama. There is, at present, no real challenge to his claim on the Democratic ticket for another term as president. The Republican Party side, on the other hand is quite different, with nine announced candidates.

How does this process work? What will actually happen over the course of the next several months up to the Republican Convention - where the only "action" is likely to be - in the summer of 2012?

So far, we have seen a multitude of debates and straw polls, as well as discussion about who can out fund raise the others. We have had speculation about Sarah Palin and Chris Christie entering the race, only to have both of them bow out and we've seen the withdrawal of former governor Tim Pawlenty. Yet, not a single actual vote has been cast for anyone. The first contest is scheduled to be the Iowa Precinct Caucuses, first by tradition. The first primary by tradition, and so far by schedule, will be New Hampshire. The dates of these contests are uncertain due to jockeying by other states to be as early as possible.
