Simple. Before the final elections they hold primaries so each party can decide who their candidate will be.
The Democrats chose from a list of possible Democrat candidates, and the Republicans vote on who they want to represent them in the big election.
If Republicans could vote in the Democrats primaries, the Democrats would be pimping Al Sharpton, and the Republicans would be pimping Dan Quayle.
