This is the issue in a nutshell. There will still be a lot of people who will vote for the democrat candidate because they feel they will be better then the republican, but winning an election requires a lot of effort by people calling on the phone, knocking on doors, etc. The enthusiasm a candidate generates starts right there.
This is really a demoralizing stake through the heart of the democrat party. A good quality green party candidate, with a party process that accepts input from the rank and file, can cut off a large section of the democrats.
