I once had an idea that I never followed through with, and it could be completely infeasible. But I was thinking, if you could take the info that opensecrets provides, mash it up with public comments by legislators and votes on certain bills, you could have a nice little graph of how corrupt each congressman was, and how "bought" a particular bill was. Would take a considerable technical effort, but I think that might be useful.
