1. If McCain passes away, who does the AZ Governor appoint to the US Senate?

Cindy McCain?

Kelli Ward? too pander to Republican base.

2. Cancer question

I've wondered if McCain's cancer is related to his stint in Viet Nam. I've talked to a number of vets who were there who've attributed many different illnesses to Agent Orange in later years.

But Agent Orange wasn't part of the equation; jet fighter pilots didn't mess with the Agent Orange, and we did not spray it on the 'Hanoi Hilton'.
