U.S. Sen. John McCain's office Wednesday countered speculation that the Arizona Republican would resign this summer to focus on his presidential bid.
McCain spokeswoman Melissa Shuffield told the Phoenix Business Journal that McCain has "no current plans" to step down from his Senate seat.
"No current plans"? Not exactly a firm denial, is it? As the story reveals, Governor Napolitano is obliged to choose a Republican in the event that McCain abandons his seat, but she can choose any Republican she wants. Which means that she will choose the one most likely to lose the next election.
It would be a lousy idea to have McCain abandon his seat during his Presidential race. It serves no purpose whatsoever. Here's hoping that this is just a bad rumor.
