When you're referring to the party. A Democrat is someone who belongs to the Democratic Party; a democrat is someone who believes in democracy. Democrats (big D) are democrats, but not all democrats (small D) are Democrats -- some of them are Republicans.

I found a relatively good answer at: http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=1087100

As I understand, if you are referring to the Democratic Party, then the word should be capitalized. If you are referring to a democratic concept, the the word should be lowercase.
