This is a project we just finished. It scrapes data from multiple sources and visualizes it using Raphael.js. Enjoy.

If you're willing to do some work with survey weighting, there is an awesome amount of well organized data about US presidential elections that is freely available in the American National Election Survey (ANES)[1]. I would love to see some pretty charts made from that data.

It's obvious that this website was meant to be tongue in cheek, and it's actually pretty cute (I like the daily horoscopes, they set a fun tone for the page). Still, I think there's a lot of value to society that could be created by making pretty graphs with good data.
