3. What's the right way to say it?
Does one vote for the Democratic candidates or the Democrat candidates?

2. Democrat is a noun. Democratic is an adjective.

I like the sound of Vote Democratic.

(As opposed to GOP Totalitarian.)

7. Technically, it is "The Democratic Party"
Edited on Mon Jul-17-06 08:17 PM by longship
Candidates are commonly called "Democrats". But, to vote for a "Democrat" is to vote "Democratic". Both are capitalized.

Lower-case "democrat" and "democratic" mean an entirely different thing.
