When will the Arizona U.S. Senate special election happen? [View all]
I mean no disrespect to John McCain by mentioning this so soon. I always did respect him (except when he selected Sarah Palin) and crossed over to vote for him in the 2000 Presidential primary.
But, given the situation with the current President and that Arizona is rapidly trending more blue, this will be a pretty huge special election. How does this work in Arizona - is it a special election vote or a governor's appointment for the remainder of the term?
Ted Kennedy also died on August 25th and if I remember correctly, Deval Patrick made an interim appointment who was a friend of the Kennedy family and then Scott Brown got elected in early January. Is that a likely time frame for the special election for McCain's seat?
R.I.P. and truly best regards for McCain, who was an honorable man, but this could be what the Senate majority rests on.
