This whole matter is a tempest in a teapot. (S)elections are just trinkets given to children to keep them occupied; why play into the trap?

This is how it has seemed to me for a long time (especially in presidential races). This is how the whole thing was set-up in the constitution. Really only the house was supposed to be direct democracy. The president was to be elected through a complex process, and ultimately citizens worthy of being the final delegates made the final choice. The senate was supposed to be the house of the states.
