Nope, Claymore. Can't weasel out of that one so easily. I would say "leader of the Democrats", but not "Democrat leader". Democratic speaker is correct, Democrat speaker is not. If you're not one of the small minds who like to misuse the word Democrat as a form of insult (always using Democrat even when Democratic is the correct term), then I'm sure your incorrect usage was just a typo. If you only use "Democrat" even when "Democratic" is the correct term, then you are just being petty.
