Teresa Heinz Kerry (what's all this insisting upon having your maiden name inserted in all references to yourself – Heinz Kerry, Rodham Clinton – all about?).

Uh, Michael, "Heinz" isn't her maiden name. It's her first husband's name.

I think it's weird to haul your first husband's name into a second marriage, but nobody else seems to much care.

Let me help you with that. It's really very simple - it combines the name of her honey with the name of her M-O-N-E-Y!

I noted the misunderstanding about Mrs. Kerry's "maiden" name as well. I agree it is kind of weird to be using it still. I guess the only rationale for it is that she has children, but geez, they are adults now, probably they could handle it if she had a different name.

You are of course correct about the middle name.

Many women keep their married names from a dead or divorced husband so that she has the last name as their kids...avoids potential uncomforable situations.

Once the kids are grown however...I wouldn't think this would mean much.

My basic opinion is "does anyone know what teresa is thinking?

If I remember rightly, she only added Kerry to her name when John started campaigning for President. Much the same as Hillary did. Bot Teresa and Hillary refused their husbands last names until their husbands ran for president.

Teresa may have kept the Heinz last name for her children. I wish she had kept it and stayed a Republican. If she did, and used that sharp mind of hers, she would never have married John and told us all through the press to "Shove it".
