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.[1] The Virginia Democratic primary was an open primary, and was competitive for the first time since 1988.[2] Barack Obama won the primary, as he did the other Potomac contests that day.[3]
