And the national media has a multiplier effect upon the de-federalization of the Senate. Senators run in the national media, unlike House candidates.

That's why my first vanity post in 2002 was called Repeal the 17th Amendment: The Elegant Campaign Finance Reform.

Eliminate the Senate elections, and you begin to tear down the huge national party funding blocs that have arisen.
