The Jefferson Jackson Dinner is the annual big event for Virginia Democrats, and this year, it is really big. Happening three days before the state's primary, the main speakers are presidential hopefuls: Senators Barack Obama (D-Il) and Hillary Clinton (D-NY). We hear the history of the event, and how this year's festivities may affect how the Commonwealth votes on February 12th.
