If voter are irrational (also arguable), this person gives then next to zero emotional appeal.
And then there's the logistical problem that you don't know about lots of votes - e.g., amendments - three days in advance.

Plus, quite honestly, I have no desire to be represented by a person (not in the legal sense, but used as the word is used by people who speak English) who doesn't have the sense, the backbone, and the stones to vote against the desires of the majority of voters because they're just plain wrong, if it comes down to it.
