Hopefully his seat will be filled with a true conservative. Figured I wouldn't make much comment about him since Mamma said, "if you can't say something good, say nothing at all"

Buzz here is that the Governor is going to appoint Cindy to the seat until a special election. I hope that that was just to ease McCain's mind that his RINO ways would continue after his death. The Gov is up for reelection.

Unfortunately, I can't honestly thank him for his service. It was expected, given the family history, and was largely less than honorable. Whatever he did or didn't do as a POW must be weighed by his father's position at the time. In my life, his name had its first red flag at the Marine EM Club at Camp Swachb, Okinawa, in 1968 and never improved.

He will not be missed.
