I've asked people who want to do away with the Electoral College if they'd like to do away with the Senate as well, since it was structured the way it is for the same reasons - I get a blank stare, or, in the case of the more arrogant libs - denial that they have anything to do with each other. The Founding Fathers set up the Constitution so that Senators were appointed by the State Legislature. You prefer we go back to that method?

That would be true "Campaign Finance Reform".

Yes.
The states were originally the sovereign entities, and the Senate is to represent the states as entities. The House is representative of the people.
