Help me correct this writer on proper use of 'Democrat'

Thu Nov 09, 2006 at 09:08:13 AM PDT

Samuel Best has written an otherwise great article at cbsnews.com called "GOP Myths Fall Short of Reality."

Find it at http://www.cbsnews.com/...

However, I need you all to check in with Mr. Best and reeducate him on something...

...throughout the piece Mr. Best uses the phrase "Democrat Party" and "Democrat candidate."

As all good Kossacks know, the traditional and correct phraseology is "Democratic Party" and "Democratic candidate."

I have left the writer a comment to this effect but would ask that as many of you as possible POLITELY comment after the article to continue to help disabuse him of the notion that "Democrat Party" is permissible usage.

Thanks for any help you can give. We've got to keep the pressure up!
