Is this the same Katharine Armstrong?

From the whitehouseforsale.org page on Katharine Armstrong:

"Warren Idsal and Katharine Armstrong both worked for major investment firms at the time of their 1982 wedding, with the Paine Webber (see Joseph Grano) groom marrying a Smith Barney bride. During the 2000 campaign the then-married couple still romantically shared a common Bush Pioneer tracking number. Katherine is the daughter of Pioneer Tobin Armstrong, an heir to the fabled Armstrong and King Ranch fortunes. Her mother, Anne Armstrong, who is Kay Bailey Hutchison’s best friend, helped launch the senator’s career as Republican National Committee co-chair in 1971."

This is the same Anne Armstrong who ran for president in 1980? This would make such a great miniseries! Or hell, even a soap opera!!

1. Yes, I believe so.

Daughter of someone who may well have helped Duck Cheney get his Halliburton "work" -- think they feel a greater responsibility to him or themselves?

2. Gerald Ford says in his memoirs that he almost selected Anne

Armstrong to be his VP in '76--but instead went with Bob Dole, but wonders if he would have won by choosing the first female VP.
