My friend Katie recently pointed me to two sites with tons of data on money and politics.

http://www.opensecrets.org tracks political donations by industry, PACs, candidates, and issues.

And on the less well financed side of the hill, http://www.legistorm.com/ tells you the salary of every employee in the house/senate.  I was shocked at how much some, and little others, were making (remember that most of the data is either quarterly or semi-annual).
