I would like to draw your attention to an entry by Andrew Bond posted a few weeks ago in his blog "Analytical Visions".

Andy recently published a follow up on US senate voting patterns. One of the Program on Networked Governance research projects called "Connecting to Congress" is collecting a lot of data on how the Internet might transform Congress ways of connecting citizens to elected officials so we are always interested in that type of research. We will also use SNA with some parts of the data during the course of the project. Related to Andy's post is a paper by Wang/Mohanty/McCallum that draws on voting records from the US Senate and UN. Their SNA simultaneously discovers groups of entities and also clusters attributes of their relations, such that clustering in each dimension informs the other. In short, legislators many times cluster around a topic regardless of their party membership.
Finally, if you have ever wondered who supported who's bill in congress you should check out the embedded link.
