What is this fascination among Democrats to speculate about “primarying” incumbents?
In the unlikely event Bennet turns out to be a disaster, he’ll get the word to step aside. Short of that, why would Perlmutter give up his growing influence in Congress and solid popularity in his district?
Sorry, JeffcoPols, this isn’t an interesting discussion, it’s a juvenile fantasy.
The GOP is having a nervous breakdown, and we’re in the position to start getting real reforms. How about we leave the reheated Romerism back in the late-80s where it belongs?
novel concept to have a longtime Coloradan represent Colorado in the US Senate. Do we really need another carpetbagger in politics. Perlmutter would be great.
si uno nacio en Colorado, o solamente ha eligido vivir en Colorado. What matters is that we carve a pragmatically progressive path for ourselves into the future. If Bennett performs well enough to probably win re-election, then it would be strategic folly for the Democratic Party for Perlmutter to challenge him in the primary.
The problem we’ve had with our junior Democratic senators is that they promise change, ask party activists to ring doorbells for them, frighten themselves into some kind of mindless zombie centrism, and then demean the very people who got them elected. The boy senator is currently having trouble figuring out what he thinks of EFCA. The State platform should give him some guidance:

Voted against mortgage bankruptcy reform to help the middle class
Joins a group of 15 conservadems to represent business over the peoples interest as their stated purpose.
Voted agaist Cap and Trade to be in the budget reconcilation where it could’ve had some teeth
In silence he votes agaisnt unions and labor rights
Refuses to support single payer option in Health Care
Won’t take positions on Gay Rights, Prosecution of Bush crimes, Drug reform, anti trust enforcement…
He just won’t say where he stands on many progressive issues that should be a no brainer.
He has not earned my vote and he won’t get it. I’m done with voting for democrts that sell us out.

NO MORE BUSH WANNABEs for me
We need a progressive primary challenger or the Green Party is at least willing to tell me where they stand.
