[Campaigns-l] Congressional Navigation/GUI

I've written a beta navigation and I'd love some feedback, especially  
in how it could be improved, integrated and moved to  
campaigns.wikia.  In its current state, I've overlayed congressional  
district data on google maps, where clicking on a district shows the  
current representative.

I'd like to integrate this into wikia, linking from the map data to  
the appropriate entries for that person.  Initially, I was inspired  
by someone's idea here of showing the incumbent and his/her  
challenger, linking to their bios, quotes, issue positions, etc.

The site is currently hosted at

http://campaigns.darrellsilver.com/

I'd like to move it into the wikia site, if possible. Any feedback /  
advice is much appreciated.

Currently, there are a few limitations:
  - no Senate coverage
  - misalignment of the map at high zoom levels.
  - The default view is NYC, b/c that's where I am.  Obviously just  
arbitrary.


TIA,

Darrell Silver
