She needs to actually do something for Arizona before she goes to Washington. Like actually standing up against Joe Arpaio, instead of doing nothing and kissing the Republicans asses. She truly has been useless and cowardly.

Recent news has McCain strongly in favor of her appointment. This is smart stuff by Obama who is courting the maverick McCain on many levels, even forgiving/protecting his best friend in the Senate, Lieberman. There is no such thing as the "magic 60" for Obama, and I bet the two moderate republican Senators from Maine get a lot of love too.

Popular? By what stretch of the imagination? The state has slipped further and further into an almost fascist republic. Day or night you can not drive anywhere without a camera on you and various laws around the state have become almost draconian. Also the state is the leader in property and identity theft.
The state is the leader in home invasions and If it wasn't for a couple of other states, we would be the murder capital leader as well. It's amazing that Arizona hasn't slipped into a dystopia of epic proportions. Worst. cabinet. pick. ever.
