Larry Kudlow is speaking out in support of John McCain, who has been pushing the unpopular position that we need more troops in Iraq. He calls him "Senator Backbone."

It is no hidden fact that I have my disagreements with John McCain, but I am in complete agreement and have been for a while with McCain on the issue of more troops. I don't know if I would go as far to call him "Senator Backbone." Perhaps on this issue, but McCain has had problems making up his mind in the past on several other issues.
