WASHINGTON (AP) - John McCain dismissed the notion Thursday that he would drop out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination because he's lagging in fundraising and trailing in polls.
``That's ridiculous,'' the Arizona senator told reporters in the Capitol. ``Why in the world would I want to do that?''
``It would be nuts,'' McCain said, adding that the first primary contests are a full six months away and arguing that voters won't start paying close attention until the fall. ``I don't know why I would even remotely consider such a thing in the month of June, or July.''
