There's no reason the candidate needs to be selected in the same way as the president is. For one thing, allowing voters to express their second choices makes the outcome more likely to be one that more people are willing to accept. Regardless of whether or not the president is elected that way, if the nominee is selected that way (or, at least, partially that way), that makes it more likely that a larger portion of the base will be enthusiastic about supporting that nominee come the general election.
Of course, even that point is irrelevent since only a few states caucus. Really, IMO, there's not much reason to care one way or the other since the number of caucuses are so few.
