The Senate Social Network

Visual.ly put together this representation of "friends" in the U.S. Senate based on their similar votes, which ran in Yahoo! News. As you drag the slider to the left and right you can see the effects of partisanship and where clusters break up and come together. Clicking on any of the dots will show you the number of votes they have in common with each party.

Not sure you can make huge claims from it, but it's an interesting visual nonetheless.
