Check out the GSS (General Social Survey for U.S.), not only does it have very many different variables you could work with, with a cumulative data set from 1972-2000, but it also has a built-in software to help you run the regression. All you will need to do is specify the variables, limit them, and even use dummy variables for more advanced regressions and it will run the regression for you, and make the tables for you. The regression tool is under "Analyze" if I remember correctly.

The UCI Machine Learning data sets can be found here:

http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mlearn/MLSummary.html

...although they are a mix of regression (numeric) and classification problems.

KDnuggets has a list of links to many data sources:

Another possibility, if you're just fishing to find anything to analyze, is to search on-line for "data set" and a file extension like XLS or DBF. Searching AllTheWeb (http://www.alltheweb.com/) for:

"data set" XLS

...I found the following on the first page:

Statisics will prove that you wont get a good answer here.
