The 2008 District of Columbia Republican presidential primary took place on February 12, 2008. Virginia and Maryland both held primaries on the same day, so the day's elections were collectively called "the Potomac primary".^[1] John McCain decisively won the primary, securing the votes of all 16 DC delegates to the 2008 Republican National Convention.
