Does it make any difference where he was or what he was doing? Maybe vacationing some? Maybe getting a kid ready for college some? Maybe trying to work on finishing up the book he was writing so he'd have more $$$$ coming in? Maybe finishing up speechmaking he had committed to? Maybe figuring out how he could talk to supporters about supporting Bush? Maybe campaigning for other candidates as well?
Makes no difference to me, nor should it have mattered to any Keyes supporters, when Keyes endorsed or said to vote for Bush....he could have told me, begged me, offered to pay me to, or whatever....even way back on the day GW filed papers to run that I should vote for GW....and I never would have....because Bush stands for too much I'm against.
I didn't care if he even endorsed Bush -- what bugs me is the fact that we kept getting told keyes endorsed Bush way before he actually did. As for what he was doing, didn't care about that either. I just don't like the misrepresentation I have seen on here about how much keyes supported Pres Bush which is one thing I think we can all agree on -- he didn't support him hardly at all and very late in the general election when he eventually endorsed him!
