Has anyone done a correlation between donations and the votes in the recent House and Senate health care votes?

That's useful information. In addition to knowing how much the members received from those industries, it would be nice to know how much they received overall, to address the possibility that the "no" voters just raised more money -- particularly considering McCain is in the "no" camp.
