Some state's opt for primaries open to all, some opt for primaries open to all voters registered in a party and all unenrolled voters, some opt for closed primaries. The closed primary states often let you register for a party at the polls. Generally, each state party can decide whether to participate in the primaries established by the legislature or can opt out and select their nominees and their delegates other ways.
Most state parties allocate their Presidential delegates a number of ways; they can use both a primary and a caucus if they choose - the rules are very flexible. And most parties seem to want the insiders picking some delegates.

Apparently the South Carolina primary is proportional representation for the delegates that show up at the convention. Colbert is hoping that he has enough votes for one lone delegate to show up and cast a ballot for him in the Democratic convention. I don't think the party is too pleased about this.
