Cheney was the one who wanted Iraq, even back in 91 when he was working for Bush Sr. It wasn't about westernizing, power tripping, security, or annexation. It was about improving Halliburton's fiscal performance. Laissez-faire corporate expansion plain and simple.
The votes are really for "Cheney (feat. Bush) '04". Not that it's that much of a change, just understand that Cheney's been doin' the scene a lot longer than Bush Jr., so Bush considers him credible, and professional. Like Gandalf is to Frodo. As long as Bush's socioconservative agenda doesn't step on the toes of Cheney's interests, there won't be a problem.
