Sen. Jon Kyl made official today what most political observers had long believed: He will be resigning from the U.S. Senate at the end of the year.
That announcement kicked the speculation about who Gov. Doug Ducey would appoint to replace Kyl – himself an appointment to replace the late John McCain – into overdrive.
And along with the public speculation come news articles, based largely (if not entirely) on anonymous sources, that are thinly veiled attempts to pressure Ducey to take a specific action. In the case of filling the soon-to-be vacant Senate seat, the warring camps within the Republican Party are fighting over Martha McSally.
