George Soros is spurring a handful of wealthy donors who have formed a loose-knit group that is funding a permanent political infrastructure of nonprofits, think tanks, media outlets, leadership schools, and activist groups–a kind of vast left-wing conspiracy to mirror groups in the conservative movement. It’s called the Democracy Alliance (DA). The Democrats’ surprise capture of both houses of Congress in November gives the new group a perfect opening. But the DA is off to a rocky start and has been surprisingly reluctant to disburse funds to sympathetic groups.
