Repeal of the Seventeenth Amendment is probably not gonna happen. I could conceive of getting an amendment to make the senator the runningmate of the governor--or even the governor himself, after his term in office--but not a system in which the senator is not directly elected.

And I don't know what it would take to make the sheeple think that even that was a good idea . . .

Me either. It took me 50 years to understand the concepts. It would be a worthy battle, though.
