  • La Convención Nacional Demócrata de 2008 fue la del Partido Demócrata. Se llevó a cabo entre el lunes 25 de agosto y el jueves 28 de agosto de 2008, en Denver, estado de Colorado. (La Convención Nacional Republicana de 2008 dio comienzo cuatro días después, en St. Paul, Minnesota). Esta es la fecha más tardía en que se ha efectuado la convención Demócrata. Históricamente, cuando el partido Republicano ocupa la presidencia del país, los Demócratas hacen su convención en julio, y vice versa. Según el Comité Nacional Demócrata, se escogió la semana del 25 de agosto para que tuviera lugar después de finalizados los Juegos Olímpicos de Pekín 2008 y para "maximizar el momentum para la fórmula presidencial Demócrata en los meses finales de la elección presidencial".​ Una lista detallada de los candidatos puede ser encontrada en Una descripción del proceso de nominación puede ser encontrada en (es)
