Some establishment Michigan Democratic officials, like former Attorney General nominee Karen McDonald, fail to learn why it is they aren't reaching Democratic Party base votes, as well as independent voters. McDonald suffered are stunning defeat against here progressive opponent, Eli Savit, at the party's nominating convention last month. But instead of realizing her message didn't resonate with Democratic and independent working class Michiganders, McDonald is starting what she calls a "Common Sense Coalition PAC." That's McDonald's way, and many corporate-establishment Democrats' way, of saying they know what's right and that THEY are the ones who should always be in power, even if they're on the opposite and extreme side of the party. So much for "VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO," right Karen?
