This is a ridiculously nerdy and fascinating look at the evolution of the two major parties in Congress over time. It's interesting to visualize the phenomena, and how rare the real moderates can be. It also makes it that much more clear how impressive President Obama's meeting with the Republican members of Congress really was, and why something like that will probably get him demonized by both sides in the end.
It's a shame, the polarized state of politics, with its blind-deaf-dumb sloganeering party-lines-only existence. Alas, in a democracy, this is vox populi in its purest, most unfortunate form.
