Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

The 2008 Virginia Democratic 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.

Six national candidates appeared on the ballot in the Virginia primary.

However, all but Obama and Hillary Clinton had withdrawn prior to the primary on February 12.
