Each state has a primary, that only counts the votes from that particular state. Primaries are spread out over several months (i think the first ones were back in February?). When a candidate wins a particular state, they get delegate votes from that state. You need a certain amount of delegate votes to formally win the nomination from the party, so Obama and Clinton are battling it out for delegates still. McCain already got the amount needed on the Republican side, so he'll be the Republican candidate. Make sense?

Yeah, to a greater or lesser extent cheers

I'm not sure whether it was for the US or Australian election, but was it true that a whole bunch of voting boxes were found later on with the votes for the opposition, in other words the vote had been rigged, and it was tried to be covered up?

Australia got rid of John Howard (a man who introduced compulsory general sales tax, unfair workplace agreements, went to war when it was none of his business and never stuck to his promises, his scary friendship with Dubbya...and the list goes on). The US can vote someone who will try and do their best to make the country a fairer place - but I'm not living there so I can't comment.
