Guess which state has the most?
An interactive map from Talking Points Memo shows how K Street, that D.C. sinkhole of faceless movers and lobbyists, is in fact full of familiar faces: your ex-Congress members.
The map details the distribution of Congress members-turned-lobbyists across the United States.

There are more Republicans than Democrats, but not as many as you'd think.This isn't news, really. We all remember Bob Dole's maritally complex foray into lobby-dom and Tom Daschle's "special-policy" advising, which partly cost him...
