does anyone seriously think that the present California state legislature, for example, would elect anyone different than Boxer or Feinstein?The irony is that while the legislature of a state has little to say about the US Senate, it can influence its congressional delegation by redrawing district lines.

The irony is that while the legislature of a state has little to say about the US Senate, it can influence its congressional delegation by redrawing district lines. Over the past 60 years, Republicans have controlled the U.S. Senate a lot more than the U.S. House.
The reason? It's a lot harder to gerrymander a state.
