As I understand it, the new appointee will serve until 2020.

It's not his seat. It is the seat of the state of Arizona.

Damn McCain *should have* stepped down months ago, but of course he wouldn't do that. It was always all about McCain.... the U.S. be damned. :-(

The only GOP candidate in 2008 was Sarah Palin.

She fought against three Marxist democrats, Mccain, Obama and Biden.


And for her troubles, she was treated like utter crap and given the bums rush. When Sarah was getting attacked, McCain and his hommies just sat there.

Then, in the final insult, he dissed her in his memoirs. He needed a conservative veep in 2008 and used her like a stage prop.

I’m quite sure she’ll have far more kinder words than his cohorts.

I won’t lionize you...I’ll just say goodbye.

Really? Wow. I guess I just assumed the appointee would serve only until Election Day 2018.

Please God... Give us a true Conservative to replace McCain!

I have been corrected. I guess the new appointee to the AZ seat will serve until 2020?

“Will your AZ governor appoint a true conservative to this seat? (Obviously only until November 6th.)”

If Ducey wants to get re-elected in November, he’d better appoint a good conservative. His rival, Ken Bennett, told me last week he favors Andy Biggs as McCain’s replacement.

BTW, this seat won’t be up for election until 2020.

"I'd love to see DJT send some junior Cabinet Undersecretary to attend the funeral in his place."

Send Sessions. He can snooze in a most respectful way through the whole service. (Maybe they can also get some of those vets who turned their backs on McCain when he passed them (when he was running for president) to attend, and silently express themselves there too.)

Even liberals are sending their condolences. Just waiting for ISIS to send theirs.

Thank you for that correction. If we *do* get a true conservative Senator from AZ, that is great news.

IIRC, Andy Biggs is a good guy, right? I've seen him on FNC a few times, but don't know much about him.

Wow, admittedly a very nice, poignant statement from Meghan McCain... just heard via Fox News.
