I think you can make a good case for either side of this issue.

If you elect them, it's a popularity contest, because the vast majority of voters won't bother to determine the real issues.

If you allow them to be appointed, you're at the mercy of the person who appoints them.

I just know that there's no way in hell I'll vote for the candidate who has left messages on my phone every day for the past two weeks!!!
