Forbes Backs Rudy

“Mr. Flat Tax” Steve Forbes is supporting Rudy Giuliani for President in 2008. Among his reasons is Forbes’ belief that Rudy is fiscally conservative and will maintain and improve upon good economic times if elected. I like the idea of a flat tax, of course, but Forbes neglected to point out Giuliani’s position on social issues and the lurking specter of Supreme Court vacancies. Yet, I can see where Forbes is coming from: McCain isn’t really a Republican anymore, Romney ushered in a yet-to-be-tested universal health care plan in Massachusetts though Romney was good on other economic issues there, and the others are simply “also rans” at this point.
