Tonight on Kudlow & Co. (7 p.m. EST on CNBC) I’ll be talking with John McCain about recent powerhouse endorsements from key newspapers (Des Moines Register, Boston Globe, Portsmouth Herald, New Hampshire Union-Leader), a ringing endorsement from Sen. Joe Lieberman, and how he plans to pull off a big surprise win in New Hampshire.

McCain has a very solid pro-growth economic plan. He’s for keeping tax rates low and abolishing the AMT. He’s also tough on spending and, of course, tough on earmarks.

The million-dollar question is whether McCain can bring disenchanted investors and political independents back to the GOP fold and into his voting-booth column.

But rest assured, McCain is very much alive.
