The 2012 Democratic primaries were the selection process by which the Democrats chose their candidates in the 2012 election for President and Vice President of the United States. Through a series of primaries and caucuses culminating in the Democratic National Convention, 2012, the party picked Senator Michael Casmir of Illinois, who selected Sunbelt Governor Rick Hernandez of Texas as his running mate.

Vice Presidential Candidates

Among those who may have been considered in the running for the post, but ultimately not selected by Casmir included:
- Mississippi Valley Governor Carter Glass of Louisiana
