Do the Democrats have a Koch brothers equivalent?

10. Two big differences between the Koch brothers and Soros who I see brought up here a lot...

... Difference 1 - It's pretty easy to get on the Koch brothers dole. They have a ton of organizations and they recruit like mad. In the pundit world you see a ton of folks who are funded, ahem, excuse me, hired and working for a Koch brothers funded organization. They are all over the media.

Try and get hired by a Soros funded organization. Sure, there are folks out there who have done it, but it's a much more difficult proposition.

The result is that there is a huge Conservative farm team out there that the Koch brothers have produced.

Difference 2 - Koch brothers organizations have historically had a much bigger impact. I love me some Media Matters, ACLU and Human Rights Watch, but they don't have the impact in politics that Heritage, Cato Institute and AEI have.
