Should Perlmutter Primary Bennet?

(There’s almost no chance of this happening, but it’s an interesting discussion. – promoted by Jeffco Pols)

In August of 2010 the Democratic Party will host its Primary election.  At that time, Senate-Designate Michael Bennet will campaign to remain Senator Michael Bennet.  Bennet seems like a nice enough guy, but there is a real question of whether or not he can defeat a strong Republican challenger in November, 2010.

Democrats can ill afford to lose the U.S. Senate seat to Republicans.  Should we encourage Congressman Perlmutter to challenge Bennet in a primary?  I don’t think Perlmutter would be the type of person to make a move like this on his own, but in the best interest of the state, should he run a strong primary campaign against Bennet?

Poll after the jump.
