Former Republican presidential candidate and magazine publisher Steve Forbes has endorsed Texas Gov. Rick Perry for president. The endorsement isn’t totally surprising, as Perry plans to unveil a flat tax proposal on Tuesday — and that was the signature issue of Forbes own presidential run. Not sure how much of a difference the endorsement makes in terms of rounding up votes, but it does provide Perry with an effective surrogate on the flat tax. It’s also worth noting that Herman Cain served as co-chair of Forbes’ 1996 run for president.
Here’s video of the Forbes endorsement:
