Sen. McCain 'doing well' and in 'good spirits' says son-in-law - though won't be on hand for...vote

Sen. John McCain headed back to Arizona today and will miss the tax reform vote this week.

Meghan McCain's new husband, The Federalist's Ben Domenech gave an update on the senator's condition after the longtime Arizona senator was hospitalized earlier this week.

'Well, John, I'm happy to say that he's doing well,' Domenech answered Face the Nation host John Dickerson, who had asked about the Republican lawmaker. 'He's in good spirits. And he's looking forward to heading back home in Arizona for the holidays.'

CBS News later reported that McCain is heading directly to Arizona and miss key votes on the Republican tax package, which will take place next week.

McCain's absence shouldn't derail the package, despite the slim GOP majority in the Senate, as Sens. Bob Corker, a Tennessee Republican, and Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican, have said they would vote in favor of the bill after, at first, suggesting they wouldn't.

He should have had the decency to retire,resign and let the people he represent have better cheaper healthcare and a tax cut that they need to keep paying for Obamacare 116% increase in his state of Arizona.

He has his interest ahead of his country and his state.

Die you old POS

Agreed. He should resign right away, so that Gov. Ducey can appoint a conservative replacement in time for the votes.

"Grrrrr! Resigning makes me angry! Where are my strawberries???"

If they plant McCain in Arlington, I hope it’s next to Teddy Kennedy so I can get both graves with one sweeping sprinkle.

He’s actually doing just about as well as a frail, old dog on his last trip to the vet. See:

His second tumor was discovered around Thanksgiving.

Surprising how none of the major media sources has picked up this little local article.

I do think ailing elected officials should resign and concentrate on being with their families in the last days.

Agreed. He should have done that right after his diagnosis. Things do not look good for him.

I don’t think McCain will ever return to Washington unless it is to Arlington.

Agree - he'll be back in a box

Hypothetical question:

IF he were to pass before the vote, how quickly could he be replaced?

Disinformation. He has gone home to die. There is nothing left of him except his enduring malice

How fast could a military jet get from AZ to DC with the governor giving the oath on the way?

My guess is that he won’t be around for New Year’s.

A buddy that I was with in Vietnam got in and wizzed on LBJ’s grave.

There will be a big line for Hanoi Jane.
