With every Trump Tweet, Democrats seemingly become more emboldened about their chances in 2018. Whether sensing opportunity or stoking the fires of their own growing anger with the White House and an inept Republican Congress, Democrats in Colorado have had little trouble finding candidates for the most high-profile races in the state.
Three Democrats are running for the opportunity to take on Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) in CD-6, a seat that Dems have been perpetually optimistic about capturing ever since redistricting changed the boundaries in 2012. While the slate of candidates may not yet be complete, with each passing week Democrat Jason Crow seems to be pulling further and further away from the rest of the pack. Today, Crow’s campaign announced that it has secured two more significant endorsements that should play big dividends in a Democratic Primary: former Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and state Senator Irene Aguilar.
Crow’s solid Q2 fundraising numbers and a steady stream of notable endorsements have given him plenty of momentum over the other two Democrats in the race (Levi Tillemann and David Arrestad). We’ve got a long way to go here, of course, but surrogates for the incumbent Coffman have already demonstrated that Crow is the Democrat who concerns them the most in 2018. If Crow can keep up this momentum, we’re likely to see that General Election matchup heating up one year from now.

I always wanted to see Mike Coffman eat Crow.
You're lucky we don't have a policy on terrible puns 🙂
If you did have an anti-pun policy, I'm sure you would be crowing about it
What makes you think Coffman will be Crow's opponent?
Logic
Yep you were so correct in the last election.
Prune does have a point here. And also the prior election where Pols considered Coffman to be a "goner. It’s far too early to be making predictions, but with the general Trump sleaze settling in over the land…….."
What makes you think Coffman will be Crow’s opponent?
Lack of any viable Republican alternative to Coffman.
Coffman insufficiently “blood and soil” enough for you? . . .
. . . Hoping maybe the Republicans run Jim Crow?
What is "blood and soil"? I think Crow is your man.
You maybe should consider paying better attention (less trolling lefty blog sites, staying off Tinder, no more YouTube cat videos, etc., etc.) during your Klavern meetings . . .
. . . else they might take away your hood and sheets.
Have you tried taking notes??
So you don't know either?
Ever heard of "Google"?. It is a search engine you can use to look up stuff so as to not appear so profoundly ignorant.
"Gee, what is Google?" (responding for Passionate Prune)
P brain is channeling his inner Sgt. Schultz, "I know nothingk!"
Seems Jason has some serious Crowmentum.
Go to your room!
Stop ravin' about Crow!
I'm having trouble remembering anyone Ken Salazar has endorsed, especially early, who has actually gone on to win an election?
