WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Campaigning in the area that was ground zero for the Florida recount, Vice President Dick Cheney teamed up Tuesday with former New York Mayor Ed Koch.

Koch, a Democrat and fervent supporter of the Bush administration in the war against terrorism, said the vice president is a man ``I would give my life to'' to protect.

``You can depend on him. You can depend on George Bush,'' Koch told several hundred cheering Republicans at a rally in Palm Beach County.

Cheney repeated a favorite criticism of Sen. John Kerry -- ``He's a man who will say and do anything if he thinks it will advance his cause'' -- and suggested the country has been spared the full impact of Kerry's views on national security because as a senator ``John Kerry has been one of a hundred votes and fortunately ... his views never prevailed.''

Cheney added, ``A senator can be wrong for 20 years ... but a president always has the deciding vote.''

Palm Beach County is hostile territory for the Bush-Cheney campaign, which gathered only 35 percent of the vote here four years ago. Democratic candidate Al Gore received 62 percent, a figure Democrats say should have been even bigger.
