1. Democratic Underground is the best of the liberal think tanks (n/t)

2. Rockridge Institute

3. Don't ANYBODY say the Brookings Institute

They've gone far to the right of center in the past few years, even though they may occasionally put something out that makes sense.

8. That has *always* been conservative

This is what Fairness and Accuracy in

To this day, Brookings is commonly, and inaccurately, dubbed "liberal" (e.g., Baltimore Sun, 8/9/98; Cincinnati Enquirer, 7/30/98; Dallas Morning News, 7/1/98; AP, 5/29/98). CBS News correspondent Bernard Goldberg even publicly chastised one of his colleagues for not tagging Brookings as "liberal" in his reporting (Wall Street Journal op-ed, 2/13/96). It's called "centrist" almost as often, but never "conservative," though that label would be more accurate than "liberal."

In fact, much of Brookings' top brass has come from Republican administrations. Its current president, Michael Armacost, was an undersecretary of state for the Reagan administration and ambassador to Japan under Bush. Brookings' president from 1977 to 1995, Bruce MacLaury, spent most of his career in the Federal Reserve, with a stint in the Nixon Treasury Department.


Liberal think tanks:

People for the American Way, although I'm not sure its really a think tank per se.

www.tcf.org
www.americanprogress.org
www.urban.org
www.epinet.org.

And Brookings is a mixed bag of centrist, conservative, and just independent. Just bring your thinking cap when you read there.
