It’s not official yet, but John McCain is only too happy to see his governor, Janet Napolitano, in the Obama cabinet and out of contention for his Senate seat, which is up in 2010.

The statement from his Senate office today:

Today, Senator McCain called and congratulated Governor Janet Napolitano on her emergence as top contender for Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Senator McCain said “Governor Napolitano’s experience as the former U.S. Attorney for Arizona, Arizona’s Attorney General, and as Governor warrants her rapid confirmation by the Senate and I hope she is quickly confirmed.” Senator McCain looks forward to working with her throughout the nomination process.
