If she wins, she takes McCain's seat in 2010. He's got to retire by then.
At least he'll have a more conservative replacement.
lol, I don't know about that. Despite her image in the media, she's pretty left-winged. We'll just say her and McCain share nearby property on the political spectrum
Hopefully by 2010 there will be some Napolitano fatigue and Reps Hayworth or Flake keep that seat in Republican hands. If somehow McCain is elected president she'll probably appoint state party chair Jim Pederson to the seat. He's eyeing a challenge to Sen Kyl (no way). Honestly, I'm not sure where AZ law stands on special elections for a vacated seat. Maybe Carl knows.
