Kelli Ward sounds good. Lost by 10 to McCain but had the courage to oppose him. Would love to see her get the Senate Seat.

I saw this last night. I did not post it because I was not sure if the source was good or not.

[amihow]

Who would be your second choice?

[Brown Deer]

"Understandably, she doesn't want to think about it."

Then very obviously, she SHOULD NOT be given the job!

I live in Congresswoman Debbie Dingell’s district. She married the relic John Dingell. That qualified her to run and get his seat.

He spoke at the library where I worked and Dingell was aware of his surroundings,his eyes followed movement well and he hardly ever drooled on his necktie.

Able to always vote yes for Dem bills. Stayed in Congress a few more years but then gave it up. Qualified to stay as long as Diane Feinstein.

[null and void]

I am becoming very skeptical. Not a single mainstream news outlet is repeating this. If it were true it would be all over FOX CNN the WASH COMPOST etc.

Only selfishness links the two. The selfish vindictive old man sees a glimmer of hope to use the SCOTUS confirmation to maintain a presence on the senate he dies.

The man is scum. If she accepts his wife is scuma.

He should be honorable, resign and allow the governor to appoint whom ever he wants. Absent that, after the resignation, The governor should renege on the promise and should tell McCain to go to hell. He can then appoint whomever he wants.

I suspect that people in AZ, gullible as they are, will rally to become Cindy’s biggest boosters.

Since there are 54 Republican seanators, even without Flake and McCain, it would be 52-48 without Pence’s vote. I don’t see how this doesn’t go through despite Dems hand wringing.

[NRx]

That was a good call. If this has been up since last night and no one else has picked up the story then, bluntly, it’s BS.

[null and void]

Hmmm didn't show try this:

[hsmomx3]

Not this AZ voter!!!

[Theodore R.]

It’s 51 counting Collins. Remember Doug Jones took the AL seat in 2017.

[hsmomx3]

AZ media has been very, very quiet lately.

[Theodore R.]

AZ has had lots of Democrats in high office. McPain would have unbeatable as a Democrat too, or would he?

[MHGinTN]

Is Brewer still well? Appoint her!

[NRx]

I'd consider pulling this from the Breaking News feed for now. This looks like some kind of internet rumor. The Santa Monica Observer is not a major news outlet and does not have a good track record for accurate reporting. There is zero discussion of this in the MSM, which if it were true they would be on this like white on rice. A Google is turning up zilch other than some blogs and websites that are not reliable sources.

[MomwithHope]

I think he’s been gone since that cellphone photo of the closeup what looks like a corpse. No fake tweets after that from McCain’s wife or staff.

[Blue Highway]

ok gotcha. When I did a search it said 54-45, so must have been an old web page.
