    The Possibility of a Brokered Convention | 5 comments (5 topical, 0 hidden)
    When you think about the way Senators were chosen (none / 0) (#1)
    by Bruce on Wed Feb 15, 2012 at 09:04:46 AM EST
    before the 17th amendment, it was political professionals selecting the senators to represent the states.

    The results were probably not always that different from those of popular votes, but the popular distrust of politicians and the notion that popular voting would be more democratic than representative voting led to the change.

    Not sure how well a brokered convention would be received in the press.  Possibly well received... as grist for why "the Republican part was the party of elites."  You know, "Obama is the man of the people," but "Republicans are cronies of the rich."
