>Are you saying you want to go back to when your state's House Reps decided your state's Senators? I would not mind that

  This would give even more power to special interests, as they only need to influence a governor (or a small number of state reps) to get their senate choice, rather than all the voters in the state. I can’t see why that’s better, since at least now senators have to pretend to represent constituents.

    oh good... pretending to represent constituents... holding the bulwark against special interests.

      Maybe you could explain how your position improves upon this...
