Although activist Paul Rosenthal has done an incredible job rounding up just about every endorsement that matters in the southeast Denver district, he still faces an HD-9 primary campaign from RTD Director Bill McMullen.
It’s created an interesting dichotomy: the “establishment” candidate is the one without a title in front of his name while the previously elected candidate has been all but discounted entirely. Still, McMullen has previously been on the ballot and won, a distinction Rosenthal has yet to enjoy.
With the June 26 primary fast approaching, we want to know: who do you think will be the Democratic nominee in HD-9?
As always, we want to know what you think will happen, not your preference. If you had to bet everything you owned, who would you pick between Paul Rosenthal and Bill McMullen?

This will be a hotly contested race, but Bill McMullen has the election experience to win a general election.
1.) Our district (HD 9) is heavily Democratic. A yellow dog beats a Republican in the general election.
2.) Rosenthal has knocked on my door. I have heard nothing from McMullen.
3.) Upon further review on the SOS website, McMullen is a joke. He has only raised $1,400.
4.) As of today, McMullen doesn’t even have a functioning website.
5.) I have heard great things about McMullen during his tenure on the RTD board, and he seems like a nice guy, but it hasn’t transferred over to winning an election.
According to the Democratic Party of Denver web-site McMullen hosted a campaign kick-off party last week on Fri, Jan. 27. See: http://www.denverdems.org/cont…
