No. And we should go back to the old system of the State electing senators. The senate was never meant to be a body that was elected by the populace.

I agree. The State Legislature electing the U.S. Senators gave more importance to being a member of a State Legislature and insulated the U.S. Senate from public passion. That is why the House is elected directly and every two years at that. Those clever rascals who drafted the Constitution really knew what they were doing!
