Samcol,
I understand what you are saying, but I think you would be opening a can of worms worse than what we have now.
Granted the Electoral College elects the president, but there are very, very few cases where the man with the most nationwide votes was not elected into office.
The President in order to "take the state's EC votes" still has to win the popular vote of that state.
Revoking/repealing the 17th amendment will not fix the problem.
The only thing that will, IMHO, is getting good people truly involved and wanting to make a change, that have only 1 agenda to make the nation and their district/state better. NO partisan agendas, no lobbyist agenda, no corporate agenda... just the desire and plan to make their constiuency better, better educated, better employed, better healthed, better housed, better than the previous generation and restore the American dream.
Until you get men like that, interested and voted into office doesn't matter what you do or try.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
