Having already orchestrated more than $100 million in grants to liberal non-profits, now George Soros and his friends are ready for primetime, the Capital Research Center reports:

The Democracy Alliance (DA) is maturing. After several years of internal strife, management squabbles, a few political purges, and frustrating electoral setbacks, the group whose mission is to tilt American politics leftward has found its footing. The DA is becoming what leftist blogger Markos Moulitsas of DailyKos fame called for in 2005: "A vast, Vast Left Wing Conspiracy to rival" the conservative movement. . . . Although it is officially nonpartisan, the DA has cultivated deep and extensive ties to the Democratic Party establishment.

Senator Hillary Clinton's good friend, Kelly Craighead, runs the Alliance's day-to-day operations. Clinton brags that she has helped create what she calls "a lot of the new progressive infrastructure." Last August Clinton told the YearlyKos convention of left-wing bloggers that she "helped to start and support" Media Matters for America and the Center for American Progress (CAP), two recipients of DA grants. Media Matters is headed by conservative turncoat David Brock; CAP is headed John Podesta, Bill Clinton's White House chief of staff. (Washington Times, December 3, 2007)

Hmmm. So the Team Clinton alum are working for these non-profits, instead of working for Hillary's campaign, and she's fighting for survival in Iowa and New Hampshire. Is this all some secret Soros scheme to sabotage Hillary? The conspiracy buffs will have a field day with this one.

Meanwhile, be sure and read the rest of the CRC report.
