1.  Limit the choices of voters.

2.  Create a body of lame duck congressmen who do not have to worry about pleasing the people who voted for them.

Basically it frees up more congressmen to do whatever they want for themselves and the lobbyist because they don't have to worry about re-election.

I am not a fan at all.

1. There already are limited choices. Middle class Congressmen are rare. Usually it means they were newly elected.
2. They don't. Congress members generally vote in favor of lobbyists and their income tax bracket, which generally is detrimental to those who voted for them. The voters just don't have the options. Just like old people that vote for guys that run on platforms of slashing SS and then say "yeah, but I didn't think he really would" or "what choice did I have, the other guy was a woman."
