There would be no rush if they thought he was going to win!

And if he loses they will have less legitimacy at rushing through a pick after Election Day.

So yes, expect a rush. How do you even complete a background check and hold hearings in 5.5 weeks?

for a week, and they can also demand 30 hours of debate. (Source: either CNN or MSNBC from Friday night)

Because of the lame duck session, I actually believe one of the reasons they are rushing this is because Mark Kelly is likely to win in AZ and can be sworn in by the end of November.
