Demos has grown pretty rapidly over the past couple of years, but we are a think tank tortoise when compared to the hare-on-speed that is the Center for American Progress - a new Washington think tank founded in October 2003 by John Podesta, former Chief of Staff to Bill Clinton.
Backed by wealthy liberals such as George Soros, the Center aims to become an intellectual powerhouse for the left, able to match the influence and energy of right-wing tanks such as Heritage Foundation. Although only two months old, it already has 40 staff and an impressive array of projects underway. Read its mission statement here. Also this Washington Post article gives some background.
Definitely worth a visit when we're next in the US.
