Arizona Senator John McCain on Tuesday ruled out a 3rd party run, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. McCain's top strategist, John Weaver, lobbied hard to make the jump. McCain would have to immediately give up his chairmanship of the powerful Commerce Committee if he made the jump, according to Hill sources. "[Majority Leader] Lott would personally change the locks on the committee doors if McCain left the party!" declares a well-placed insider.
McCain has canceled all network and cable interviews for tonight and tomorrow morning.
