Congressman Rick Renzi (R-Flagstaff, Ariz.), state co-chair for John McCain's Arizona leadership team, was indicted on charges of "extortion, wire fraud, money laundering and other charges related to a land deal."
The Associated Press reports:
A 26-page federal indictment unsealed today accuses Renzi and two former business partners of conspiring to promote the sale of land that buyers could swap for property owned by the federal government. The sale netted one of Renzi's former partners $4.5 million.

Perhaps the recent NYT article was merely a prelude to McCain's past... the tip of the iceberg. Let's see how "Honest John" deflects this one. The "smell" will alienate the Conservative base even more.

Unfortunately, it will probably endear them to him.
SandyH,
The Conservative Base is not a solid voting bloc. We would be remiss to treat it as such. Once the bubble of integrity in which McCain has encapsulated himself bursts it will be interesting to see how it plays out. I'm sure Huckabee will have something to say as well.
