Forbes magazine editor Steve Forbes says he "very impressed" with Texas Gov. Rick Perry and is leaning toward endorsing him for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.
"Rick Perry, the governor of Texas, is now the front-runner. He's had a good record even though liberals are now trying to trash it, along with perhaps some of his GOP opponents," Forbes, a two-time presidential candidate, tells Newsmax.
"He did some very good things in reforming their personal injury liability system, very very positive reforms. He encouraged energy production instead of states like California that discourage it, and refused to put in a state income tax. So in the great scheme of things that’s a pretty solid record to run on. So he is the front-runner."

And as their false accusations don’t have the desired effect, they become more and more shrill.

Most intelligent people do care and most recognize that an endorsement by Forbes means that Forbes views Perry as a free enterprise candidate, who can and will turn the economy around.

Endorsements mean nothing at this point. Let’s see right after the primaries who is left standing. Most freepers ‘endorsed’ Trump for prez during the BC fiasco and where are they now? Save energy and endorsements for next year..

When they’re in their harem or unable to walk the streets maybe, just maybe, they’ll get it. Not until then. They’re just too damn smart.

I'm still leaning ever so slightly towards Bachmann, but I do like Perry.
If he does well in the upcoming debates, it will likely win me over permanently to his side.

Forbes would be a phenomenal Secretary of the Treasury or Fed Chairman.
