More to the point, I wish Barry Goldwater had retired in 1980 and we had had another Conservative Republican from then on. But the problem if McCain were to resign now, Butch Napolitano will appoint a rodent hack, and we can’t afford that.

True. McCain should have been removed in the 04 primary though. If someone like JD Hayworth had run for that seat, he would have won.

If McCain were to resign, Napolitano is required to appoint someone from the same party as a replacement until the next general. She is smart enough to select a consensus candidate on the Republican side. No matter who it would be, Jim Pederson would probably win the seat in 2008.
