Good questions but here is the catch 22, as you know. Ask yourself your questions with the current in place method of election, and then ask yourself is selection appointment better or is election better. Then ask, why did the Founders set up selection over election for Senators. Then see post 31.
“No-they will not be elected, either...However, it is almost guaranteed to heighten interest in local races.”
How will it heighten interest in local races—Who will be interested? Who votes for the people who vote for the people?
Georgia now has Nathan Deal as Governor whoring after federal money from this fraudulent administration to put our pre-school children into communist indoctrination schooling (get ‘em young!); Kasim Reed has been “annointed” by the lamestream media to be the “next” Barack Hussein Obama. Obama’s eligibilty vetting was “traded” for the dredging of the Savannah Port by our local gov’t “representatives”!
Will THEY have any influence?
