Would Bush/Keating been any better?

http://www.examiner-enterprise.com/articles/2006/12/21/news/national/news04.txt

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Former Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating, who lost out to Dick Cheney to be President Bush's running mate, is now thinking of running for the nation's top political job, a longtime associate says.

...

Keating lost out to Cheney in 2000 for the second spot on the ticket. At the time, Mahoney said Bush told Keating in a telephone conversation that he would have selected the then-Oklahoma governor if he had not picked Cheney.

1. So.....
Keating was Bush's second choice... And that's a reason to vote for Keating?

Unless he is impeached, come 2009 Bush will have killed nearly 5000 US soldiers in Iraq. What's left of the GOP will be looking to distance themselves from Bush or anything Bush-like.

Carry on, Mr. Keating!
