Education has to be a big part of the 17A repeal. When more folks understand Constitutional mechanics, they will realize that the extra gear in between the people and the federales, in the case of the Senate, is proper and necessary. It must be understood by the people, they are not giving up their vote for Senator... merely, allowing their vote to go thru a "prism" to collect a state perspective. Riiiight.
If you're a Republican living in a primarily Democratic state, would you want to give up your vote to a Democratic legislature?
This is a battle you simply will not win.

I am a ‘pub living in a ‘Rat state, and would give up my vote to a ‘Rat legislature. I don’t think in the case of MA, it would result in any ‘Rat Sinator worse than kerry/fauxcahontas/the-swimmer, elected directly. But still, overall nationally, it would be a net gain for Constitutionalists.

If not for the 17th, at most, it would have perhaps eliminated any chance that Scott Brown would have been elected (special election, national concern over ACA). In hindsight, he never made much of a difference anyway.
