What's the Best Move?

What's the best move in this position?  White has a choice of moving his Queen, or capturing the enemy Queen, or making another move that may lead to mate.  The opening that led to this position was a King's Gambit.

I liked this puzzle, but I'm wondering why 4...Kxa3. Why not 4...Ka5? The logical move after that is 5. Nxc4+...Kb5. It seems like Black would at least have a drawing chance after that.

After 4...Ka5 5.Nxc4+ Kb5 6.Qxg7 and 7.Qxh8 (see move list)
