walking subcaucus
n.— «But the most serious business of the night for the political parties was just coming—selecting the delegates. This is where issues and senate preference come into play.

This process is called the “walking subcaucus.”» —“Go Inside An Inver Grove Heights Caucus” by Beth Pearlman Channel 4000 (Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota) Feb. 5, 2008.
