Forbes for Rudy


Big pickup for the Giuliani team yesterday:
Fiscal conservative Steve Forbes on Wednesday endorsed former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani's bid to become the Republican nominee for president in the 2008 race for the White House.

Forbes, chief executive of Forbes magazine who unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination in 1996 and 2000, is considered a leader of the party's pro-business and tax-cutting wings.

"He is the man who can lead America in a world that is uncertain, fight the forces of evil and at the same time increase economic opportunity here at home," Forbes told a press conference.
Steve "flat tax" Forbes is best known for a surprisingly strong showing in the 1996 campaign in the GOP nomination. He is best known for his daring proposals for the flat tax, health savings accounts, and fiscal discipline. He is the a good spokesperson for the economic conservative wing of the Republican party. With the social conservatives apparently split between McCain, Romney and Giuliani (or waiting for Thompson), the economic conservatives are a huge swing group.

Rudy has a shot at capturing these folks who are the more libertarian wing of the party. If he does he will be in an even stronger position. The other nice thing for Rudy about this group is that this is the group that includes the business side of the Republican party and among their other attributes, they have a lot of the money
