In other words, Ducey will conveniently be waiting until after the Arizona GOP primary election on August 28 to name his pick.

Everything is political, even death.

Are they actually going to bury him? He’ll probably just roll the stone aside and demonstrate his ascension...

Why is it “John McCains’ seat”, instead of being “the peoples’ seat”?

Well of course. The grieving widow needs time to get her staff together.

Mccain isn’t going to be buried until sometime in September.

If I was sitting in John McCain’s seat I’d make sure I had plenty of lysol wipes handy first.

Even if it’s just a private joke between Ducey and Palin, I want him to announce that he’s appointing Sarah to the office. Just when libs thought they couldn’t take any more... POW! Suicides. Spontaneous human combustion. No vacancies in rubber rooms. Chris Matthews would run out of spittle. It would be a beautiful thing for a few days.

Governor, Ducey has only two choices “McSally or Ward”. Choosing a McCain family member to fill the seat vacated by John McCain would just serve to destroy Governor Ducey’s political career.

Aside from all the false media and establishment blabber relative John McCain, the Governor should take of the real world happenings. As McCain left his ranch in a funeral convoy that crossed the streets, highways & freeways of Arizona, very few people turned out to see and pay respects to the very flawed, John McCain.

The only folks out on the roads, I noted were about 10-12 reporters and photographers milling around the exit of McCain’s ranch taking pictures as the barren motorcade went by. Mr. McCain was not adored by the overwhelming numbers of the American people at all!!! This will not be a noted funeral. It will come and it will pass without either honest fanfare and little respect.

Don’t be stupid. He is waiting for Tuesday’s primary to be over. The runner up gets McCain’s seat.

The real question is once his replacement is seated will that republicans have the stones to vote again on repeal of Obamacare?

I like Jon Kyl...but, he is too far over the hill at this time. It has to either be McSally or Ward...it is the Governor’s only choices.....period!!! If Governor Ducey, appoints a McCain family member, he will lose his re-election bid in November.

McCain is gone forever....let Arizona move on. For almost a year, McCain failed the voters and citizens of Arizona by continuing in office when he could not vote in the U.S. Senate. Talk about uncontrolled ego and disregard for the people and voters in Arizona!!!

I read an article yesterday that said ‘4 republicans that know Ducey’ says he’s likely picking from 3 existing members of the AZ state government.
