[CLOSE SENATE RACES] Winner of the AZ Senate race could be seated in time for a vote on a Supreme Court pick

The Arizona Senate race has taken on new importance after the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg: If Democrat Mark Kelly wins, he could be sworn in to replace Sen. Martha McSally as early as Nov. 30 — possibly in time to vote on a new Supreme Court nominee. https://t.co/YgBO1x7BPR

Aside: glad to see the byline of Glenn Thrush is back at the NYTimes! Heckuva long sabbatical/time in purgatory after some #MeToo problem he had. I never bothered to read up on it. Frankly, I don't care, as he is a fantastic old school reporter who also had one of my favorite senses of humor on Twitter. I don't hafta work with him, all I do is read him and I never read a single sexist word out of him.

Oh and someone dug up this tape of Sen. Lindsey Graham promising something and it's quickly become very popular

“I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination." pic.twitter.com/quD1K5j9pz

How quaint - using pre-Trumpian promises as meaning something. As Walt Whitman said I believe, "do I contradict myself? Then I contradict myself - I am large - I am a fucknut!"

Lindsey may just be on his ninth and final life of flip flopping, though, you never know:

NEW: Tens of millions of dollars have flooded Senate Democratic campaigns since RBG's passing.

Nearly $3 million to Gross in Alaska. $6 million to Cunningham in NC. Sums in AZ, ME, SC, KY believed to be even bigger.
