If it has to be a democrat in office, I prefer one unable to fulfill the duties of the position. Any chances of getting a Republican in if she leaves?
I seriously doubt it since it was Republican Sarah Palin that shot her.

Sarah Palin.
Good point...It makes me think the dems want to keep her there, because they fear the results of a special election, and the republicans want her there because it’s half as good as winning a special election.
Jesse Kelly came very close to unseating her. Be mindful that it is not only Tucson in that district, it also includes Cochise County in which Ft. Huachuca is located. Cochise County is also a virtual ground zero for the illegal alien crossings. At one point Kelley was leading in the polls and she adopted a very conservative list of promises for a Democrat which was the only reason she was re-elected, in addition to some very questionable vote counts in Tucson and Green Valley.
Problem is her office can always arrange for another democrat to vote for her if she’s not on the floor. Not like they won’t get her vote.
What was she really going to be in charge of or pushing for anyway.
