Apparently you didn't go to University of Virginia yourself, or any other reputable educational institution, if you still fail to know that the adjectival form of the noun "Democrat" is "Democratic". Since the word is modifying the noun "governor", you should be using the adjective. Otherwise you sound like an ignorant Fox News drone.

You're welcome.

The governor is a democrat; not a democratic.[/quote]

You did not use a verb in your phrase (at the top) so you have an adjectival phrase (but you failed to use the adjective form).  The correct word there would be Democratic.  If you had used a verb ("is") you would have a subject and a direct object (which are both nominative forms) and then you could use the word Democrat (since Democrat is the nominative form).  You still need to go back to school.

Thank you.  Signed,
