But he hasn't stepped down?
[Via Bluesgal, who adds: Never have local elections been more important than now. With Senator Flake deciding not to run again it set up the perfect storm for his Senate seat at a time when he knew the other AZ Senator (McCain) would not likely live out his term.
At stake in November are two senate seats and the governor's office. Flake's former seat is hotly contested between McSally(R) and Sinema (D). (Yes I wanted Ward but it looks as if McSally has a lock on it)
The Governor is facing a challenge from Progressive/Democrat Garcia (Front runner)
Now that McCain has stopped treatment, depending upon when McCain steps down or passes, his replacement could be appointed after the Nov Election. IF the Governor's seat goes D we know that a D will replace McCain. Any "appointment" is for 2 years (Remainder of MeCain's term) which puts the Senate seat up for election again in 2020 during the Presidential race. So if Sinema and Garcia win in November, the likelyhood is that BOTH AZ Senate seats would then be BLUE. ]

And with one foot in the grave, he continues to pollute our state politics, convincing the unelectable Joe Arpaio to run and split the patriot vote that should have gone to Kelli Ward, leaving RINO McSally in the catbird seat.
Ah, this man cannot burn soon enough.
I can respect that man's service and what he went through during it, but I can in no way respect John McCain as a man let alone as a politician.
Frankly the world is a better place now that he has departed it.
