Interesting idea, if you think more national democracy and less Federalism is a good thing.

As Federal control becomes more and more pervasive, it dilutes democracy at the state and local levels. When virtually every issue is decided and every policy is dictated from within the beltway, then there is really nothing left of any consequence to vote on. If there is to be any meaningful component of democracy to our system of government, the it either needs to be institued at the federal level, or the federal government needs to back off and leave some decisions to the states.

I agree. Tell it to BA Conservative. He's the one who wants to nationalize Senatorial elections.
