Is there any timetable when Sinema finally makes a decision? Wikipedia just says she filled paperwork, though that's not necessarily a confirmation of a campaign. I find it hard to believe one can be delusional enough to believe there's a shot to win. And any campaign staffer/pollster telling her there's a bath isn't worth his money.

IIRC it's pretty hard to get on the ballot as an indy, so I assume Sinema's decision will come down to if she thinks she can make the ballot. She's arrogant enough to think she could win but not dumb enough to run if it looks like she can't even make it on the voting ballot.

Is it legal to serve as Governor and Senator at the same time?

I don't think it makes sense to interpret Sinema's action as triangulating to get a better gig, because on paper in 2018 she easily could have positioned herself to be a genuine political force in the Senate, someone who down the line could be in line to run for President.

Being Trump's Secretary of the Treasury or whatever is a career dead end, and what she's been doing politically is bad for her political prospects. Sinema acts this way because these are her personal views on the issues, even if it wasn't always so.
