Clinton Think Tank Readies for 2016

As Hillary Clinton ponders a 2016 presidential run, a hugely influential Washington think tank in gearing up for battle to promote and defend her.

Here is more from Time:
...Her [Hillary Clinton's] unofficial apparatus already includes...a think tank, the Center for American Progress (CAP), ready to work up white papers and field-test applause lines.
Here is a previous Think Tank Watch post on CAP being a launch-pad for Hillary Clinton's campaign.  Here is a previous Think Tank Watch post on CAP offering access to Clinton for $250,000.

CAP, which may be Clinton's favorite think tank, is also hugely close to President Obama and a variety of powerful Democrats.

CAP was just ranked by the annual University of Pennsylvania think tank rankings as the 30th best think tank in the world, and it has climbed the ranks to become the US's 10th best think tank.
