I don’t see why we cannot continue to have our senators elected by the people. We have an advantage in the state legislature at present and can do what is necessary to ensure that....can’t we?

They wouldn’t be elected by the people, but by legislative elitists with their own agenda of protecting their power. My legislators do not vote as I wish, I have no say in their elections because I don’t have the right skin color (or party) in one and the wrong party in another.

Who are these mythical statesmen you think will magically be elected by our new GOP legislature ? Do you also have no problem telling all those people living in other states with Democrat legislatures that they will never be able to send a Republican to the Senate ? How ‘bout telling the folks in Kentucky that, since with their legislative makeup, they’d send 2 liberal Democrat parasites to the Senate. Mississippi would also still be sending 2 Democrats and Arkansas, too.
