No. It's a foregone conclusion that Obama will get the Democratic nomination, since he doesn't have any challengers (you've got to be even more unpopular than Obama is to face challengers in the primary for your own party when you're the incumbent).
The other parties will have their own primaries. The only one that's likely to be significant is the Republican candidate; but all the minor parties (Green, Libertarian, American, etc.) will be having their own primaries as well.
No one agreed with the Federalists.

The party of Thomas Jefferson was known as Republicans. It had nothing to do with the current Republican party. They supported Jefferson against Adams.
At the 1912 election, Theodore Roosevelt was unhappy with Taft's policies so he formed his own political party called the Progressive Party. The votes for the Progressives and the Votes for the Republicans combined would have ensured the Republicans would have won, but the Democrats had the most electoral votes, so they won.
Closed Primary :)

Kansas has closed primaries. Voters registered as Republicans can vote only in the Republican primary; Democrats can vote only in the Democratic primary. Registered Independents can change their affiliation and vote in that primary.
A political party's closed primary election is a primary election that is open only to members of the party.
Nebraska is a closed primary state. You need to declare your party affiliation in order to vote in primary elections. If you register without a political party affiliation, you will receive only the non-partisan ballots at a primary election. Non-partisans may designate a party preference at primary elections and receive partisan ballots for the Senate and House congressional races. Party designation has no bearing when voting a non-partisan ballot or in the general election.
an open primary is when democrats, republicans and registered third parties can vote . closed primaries are when only registered democrats and republicans can vote
Depends on the primary: if they state allows for people who are not registered Republicans or Democrats to vote in the primary then you are allowed.
The state of Illinois uses a closed primary election. In a closed primary election, the voter may only vote for the party they are registered with come primary day.
Neither. There are primary and general elections. All the Democrats who want to be in Congress from your district will compete in the Democratic primary; all the Republicans will do likewise. Now, in most states whoever wins the Democratic primary will run against the person who wins the Republican primary in the general election. In Washington state, the top two vote-getters from the primary election will run in the general. This means that in some parts of Washington state, like the Columbia Basin where there are almost no Democrats, two Republicans could be on the general election ballot.
The current Republican primary election is a closed primary election. This means that only registered Republican voters are allowed to participate in selecting the party's nominee for the presidency.
An election held to choose candidates for the main election is called a Primary Election.
In Georgia, to vote in a Republican primary election, you must be a registered voter and identify as a member of the Republican Party.
