PHOENIX (Reuters) - Cindy McCain, wife of the late Republican U.S. Senator John McCain, has emerged as one of the more prominent names of possible appointees to succeed him, along with several former members of Arizona's congressional delegation.

The appointment rests with Arizona Republican Governor Doug Ducey, who has said he would wait until after McCain's burial on Sunday to announce a decision and is not considering himself for the job. McCain died on Saturday from brain cancer at age 81.
