Badger,
First, let me admit that I meant to type 2006 instead of 1986, but was dealing with another matter at the time and made an error.
Second, let me give you the primary definition from Merriam-Webster for "democratic":
Main Entry: dem·o·crat·ic
Pronunciation: \ˌde-mə-ˈkra-tik\
Function: adjective
Date: 1602
1 : of, relating to, or favoring democracy
So you see, its an adjective.
Third, I realize that like Joe, you believe in explaining your position whereas I have cited sources to support my contention.
See below:
First: You're right the term "democrat" is a noun. My bad. Just like you talking about "1986" being a good Democratic year. (It was, but obviously you meant 2006). 
Secondly, regarding some of your subsequent posts, you are partially correct: The term "Democrat" and "Democratic" are MIS-used interchangeably by Limbaugh, Beck and the like. But the correct term for the party is "Democratic Party", a member of which is a "Democrat".
Third, this is exactly what I (and everyone else) are patiently trying to get you to understand. I am a member of the "Democratic Party". This makes me a "Democrat", but the name of my party is not "The Democrat Party". You live in the state of "Arizona". You are an "Arizonan" (excuse the previous spelling error, Mr. 1986 ), but this does not make where you live the "State of Arizonan".
If you can't follow that you're either hopeless or jerking our collective chain (hopefully the latter ). Either way I'm done explaining it.
Fourth, you really shouldn't comment on matters where you knowledge is incredibly inadequate. There are a couple of small (population wise) counties in Arizona that are heavily Democrat. Further, the war within the Republican party which has seen the routs of Senators in Pennsylvania, Utah and the Governor of Florida began in 2006 in Arizona. So, 2006 was a weak year for Republicans in Arizona.
What an utter red herring. AGAIN, Carl, Napo didn't just win the few heavily Democratic counties like Apache and Santa Cruz, nor the relative swing counties like Pinal, but
EVERY county in your professedly conservative state, including heavily Republican ones like Graham and Mojave--all by
double digits. (BTW: Did I get the political leaning of those specific counties correct? Or even their names? I suffer deeply, you see, from "inadequate knowledge".)
Yes, we all know 2006 was a bad year for Republicans, Carl, both nationally and in AZ. However that same year highly conservative GOP Sen. Kyl was being reelected by a healthy 10 point margin against a well (mostly self) funded candidate (Jim Pederson) in a race that had been picked up on the national radar as a possible upset chance for Democrats. Kyl carried all but 4 counties statewide, winning 11, some by 20 points or more, and carrying Graham County by almost
40!
By my math, even if 99+% of Pederson voters also voted for Napo, as well as 2/3 of the Libertarian senate candidate's voters (highly unlikely she'd even a get a majority, but just assume), Janet still picked up about a third of Kyl voters.
And this is all due to 2006 being a bad GOP year? The anti-GOP tide didn't keep Republicans from still winning open seat governors races in places like Nevada and Florida that year.
Still want to go on about how she's teed everyone off with her lousy job as governor? I have no doubt before she moved on to DHS Sec. her popularity waned, like most governors, along with the national economy. To be reelected
that convincingly, though, in what you constantly profess is a staunchly conservative and Republican state---well, she must have done more than a couple things right.
