If Napolitano gets the nod, then watch the former Democrat A.G. leave the Governor’s office, and watch the current Republican Secretary of State – Jan Brewer – become the Governor of Arizona (yes it sounds odd, but you see Arizona has no Lieutenant Governor and so it’s the Secretary of State who’s in the line of succession.  From AZCentral:

Napolitano’s departure, which could come in weeks, would place Republican Secretary of State Jan Brewer, 64, in control of the Governor’s Office.
