The Political Spectrum of Congress
While doing some GovTrack data mining at work today, I came upon this graph of statistical analysis of bill sponsorship in the recent sessions of the United States Congress. I am not certain of the data’s usefulness, but it’s way neat regardless. And I do think it’s interesting that GovTrack considers Hillary Clinton a “radical Democrat” and Barack Obama only a “rank-and-file Democrat.”

Kinda cool. Too bad it’s not searchable so that you didn’t have to hunt around for people. Did you look at this link? I like the bloc analysis.
