February 22nd, 2008 by John Wonderlich · No Comments

From the always-worthwhile Information Aesthetics blog, links to an amazingly detailed visualization of ideological distribution in the US Senate throughout history.  From the description offered there:

This visualization rewards careful inspection–there are stories to be found everywhere: follow the positions of the Presidents, relative to their own party members; note how party leaders are typically close to their own party median, find patterns in individual states’ ideology over time–at any level of inspection, the data offer up a rational yet compelling history.
