I think these suggestions are good. Granted we cannot do everything but we have talked about doing suggestion #1 hope to do so down the line. Thanks for your comment.

It would be better if there was a way to select one node and see only links for that node. E.g. select one senator and see his contributions. Also nice would be a way to directly access the underlying data. Sort of a Google streetview for data, then go back to the main map. I know this is asking a lot.

I'd be interested in learning more about the visualization tools you used. I've been using NodeXL http://www.codeplex.com/NodeXL, which is an open source Excel add-in; as a beginner in this area I found it a great way to get up the curve quickly. However, you may be coding your own visualizations, which will always be more customized Wonderful work! I’d be interested in learning more about the visualization tools you used.
