WASHINGTON -- Arizona Republican Congressman Rick Renzi (CD1), a political dead man walking for many months, has been indicted for extortion, money laundering and wire fraud related to a scam land deal and the San Pedro River in Arizona.

John McCain campaign AZ co-chair Renzi may now be forced to resign from Congress, which if he does before May 4 would open up the seat for special election, where Dems and Arizona Corporation Commissioner Kris Mayes (R) would have a good chance.
