When Shelby retires, Strange will just start having to have pull. After that, I give him 10 more years. He'll have the rest of this term and then 2 in his own right.
Maybe even a third full term, actually. He'll be 79 at the end of his second full term, and 85 after his third full term. Shelby will be 88 at the end of this term (assuming he lives to the end). Alabama seems to loves old white men in public office.

Maybe Bentley is trying to kill two birds with one stone. Appointing Strange get a political enemy off his back, and if Strange goes down against someone younger with energy, well...

I don't know. But Strange is a surprise, he's pretty old, so he won't be around for too long. This, combined with Shelby all but certain to retire in 2022 will be a big blow to Alabama, which currently has lots of seniority, which they heavily rely on for federal funds.

Strange isnt surprising considering how craven Governor Bentley is about stopping the investigation into his corruption. Strange was investigating Governor Bentley, and with Strange's pick to the Senate, Bentley gets to pick a more favorable Attorney General.

Is this legal?  How the hell can this Bentley character appoint the person that will investigate him?  How do the people of Alabama feel about this c**p?

63 isn't that old for a Senator. King was first elected at age 68.

Carole Smitherman, Paul DeMarco, Arthur Orr, or Phil Williams could all be appointed.

Fun fact: Senator Strange may be the tallest Senator in US history at 6'9.
