They don’t believe that a Dem has any chance of winning, and for good reason. They’ve had their hopes dashed too many times between Martha Ezzard, Joan Fitz-Gerald, and Ken Toltz, to name just three for whom they had high hopes.
I am not suggesting letting this seat go uncontested. Leave it to the GOP to let seats go uncontested. The Dems need to run an articulate, presentable candidate who can try to get as much free-media attention as possible and show up for any and all candidate forums to keep Coffman (or Harvey or Lil Armstrong) accountable.
But nobody should be surprised if the state Dems decline to sink any real money into C.D. 6.
P.S. The three candidates I mentioned above had DCCC support, lots of $$$, and ran in C.D. 6 when it was a lot more competitive than it is now. They averaged in the low to mid 40% range, IIRC.
He actually forced the tank to campaign (I laugh when I think about the commercial he ran).
A good candidate can force them to spend money, but I think the quality candidates are waiting for redistricting. I suspect the CD-6 will end up as a DougCo canton perfectly suited to a wing nut. The New CD8 will be designed with jeffco, part of arapahoe and west denver to lean D. (kind of a modification of the plan Degette shot down).
The truth is The DNC and the DCCC like having a few GOP wing nuts around:it helps with fund raising.
At present they would probably elect Tom Foley(R) over Jesus Christ(D) – and yes, if Jesus ran for office, his politics would clearly make him a Democrat.

how would you feel about supporting a Conservative Democratic candidate ?
That’s the only kind that could prevail.
But only if the party and grassroots would help,
and that seems unlikely.
