Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) will wait until the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is buried before naming his successor.
"Out of respect for the life and legacy of Senator John McCain and his family, Governor Ducey will not be making any announcements about an appointment until after the Senator is laid to rest,” Ducey's senior adviser Daniel Ruiz II said in a statement to the Arizona Republic. "Now is a time for remembering and honoring a consequential life well lived."
McCain died Saturday at 81 after a fight with brain cancer. His death came after his family announced Friday that they would be discontinuing treatment for the longtime senator.
Ducey is tasked with appointing McCain’s successor under Arizona state law. The successor will fill McCain’s seat until 2020, when a special election will be held to finish the term through 2022. There will then be an election for a full six-year term in 2022.
The Arizona Republic listed potential appointees on Friday including Cindy McCain, McCain’s wife, and Kirm Adams, the chief of staff for Ducey.
“He was a giant. An icon. An American hero. But here at home, we are most proud to call him a fellow Arizonan," Ducey wrote in a statement after McCain's death. "Like so many of us, he was not born here, but his spirit, service and fierce independence shaped the state with which he became synonymous.”
So, Arizonians, are any of the potential nominees listed worthy? Will any of them consistently support our causes?
What qualifications does Cindy McCain, other than being filthy, filthy rich, have?

That may make her fit right in........
What a jerk!
She is extremely liberal, pro abortion, pro gay marriage, in other words she is a democrat. If he names her I will withhold my vote in the general
Support Free Republic, Folks!
So when is he buried? How long will this be drawn out for?
AFTER BURIAL = AFTER PRIMARY ELECTION. There was a reason they waited until shortly before the primary election to turn off life support.
Thanks, had a hunch that was probably the case.
How long has Sara Palin been a resident of AZ?
Wouldn’t that be a hoot? Splody heads all around. Just like the movie, “Scanners.”
5.56mm
Jon Kyl who retired a few years back might return as a caretaker. He is currently shepherding Kavanaugh through his SC nomination.
The timing does seem suspect
I wouldn’t put anything past these people
Moved back to Wasilla in 2016.
Not sure but I believe they sold their home in AZ, it’d be sweet if Sarah was appointed though.
His coffin will be in the AZ state capitol Wed. Then of to DC.
