2008 Virginia Democratic presidential primary

The 2008 Virginia Democratic presidential primary took place on February 12, 2008, an election day nicknamed the "Potomac Primary" because the District of Columbia and Maryland also held Democratic primaries. The Virginia Democratic primary was an open primary, and was competitive for the first time since 1988. Barack Obama won the primary, as he did the other Potomac contests that day.
