John McCain To Resign Senate Seat on the 4th of July, Says Aide. Cindy McCain Offered his Seat
[SMOBSERVED] Another reason to celebrate.

#1  Another hereditary Senate seat?
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 07/02/2018 3:32 Comments || Top||

#2  Which tells you precisely what Washington has become.
Posted by: Besoeker || 07/02/2018 3:35 Comments || Top||

#3  Hereditary Oligarchy
Posted by: Procopius2k || 07/02/2018 6:53 Comments || Top||

#4  I trust the electorate decide not to pick the deepstate oligarchy choice.
Posted by: Bright Pebbles || 07/02/2018 7:11 Comments || Top||

#5  Hopefully it's a ploy to get Cindy to waste the bulk of her family fortune the first time she has to actually run to keep the seat.

#6  Please... Someone else... Pick a dog catcher at random rather than a 'Banana Republic' transfer
Posted by: magpie || 07/02/2018 9:10 Comments || Top||

#7  So she's going to be appointed. Isn't that what those who want the 17th Amendment to be repealed want?
Posted by: Procopius2k || 07/02/2018 9:11 Comments || Top||

#8  Didn't he know about the cancer long before the primary election?
Posted by: rjschwarz || 07/02/2018 9:51 Comments || Top||

#9  Is that even legal? Who makes the decision, the Governor? I cannot imagine why she would even want it. Also, someone needs to clue these people into the fact that it isn't HIS seat. The seat belongs to the people of Arizona.

#10  That's a valuable fucking thing.
Posted by: Rod Blagojevich || 07/02/2018 10:58 Comments || Top||

#11  It's very difficult to defeat an incumbent, even one like Cindy McCain who was appointed rather than elected. She'll have the name recognition and campaign contributions from the oligarchy. So yeah, the Duke of Arizona will pass his wealth and power to the Duchess.
Posted by: Abu Uluque || 07/02/2018 11:04 Comments || Top||

#12  She'll work out as well as Mel Carnahan's widow, which is to say one partial term and done.
Posted by: M. Murcek || 07/02/2018 13:21 Comments || Top||

#13  Inbreds.
Posted by: Woodrow || 07/02/2018 14:46 Comments || Top||

#14  it happenened in Idaho with Clint Stennent, now his wife is the defacto senator, all from the most Liberal constituency in the State of course....
just sayin'

#15  Consider the trajectory of MeAgain Kelly, as she became visible and had sway, she was besieged by the feminists and bent left and agenda-driven to fit in with the elites.... something about being a conservative female that has vulnerabilities to vanity and ......?
