November 21, 2004 -- CHRIS Heinz must want revenge. It’s only been a few weeks since his stepdad, John Kerry, lost the election, but Heinz is already telling friends that he plans to run for public office one day himself - in Pittsburgh, his family’s stronghold.

Hypothetical: Is there a way to put your estate in a trust when you die to keep it from being used on causes you don't agree with? Say you had a vindictive wife or son or daughter becomes "brainwashed" at a Ivy-League school and wants to give all your money to Move On.org can you stop them?
I think Teresa should blaze the trail by running first. If her staff can just figure out a way to keep her sober, I don't see how she could possible lose.
Dogcatcher?
Incidentally, bummer for GM that they named their Buick mini van the Terraza and pronounce it teh-Ray-za on the commercials.
Santorum currently holds the late John Heinz's Senate seat. Perhaps Chris Heinz should challenge Santorum for the Senate.

Just what Pittsburgh needs, another Heinz "crack"-"pot"-"head".
This is why need an estate tax. Inherited money tends to the left.
However, in a party that lionizes the Kennedy clan, young Heinz may have a future...
A run by Chris Heinz would be entertaining. I'd enjoy watching him get a butt whipping. As recently as April, Heinz was telling the press he considered Idaho his home, and he also had an apartment in New York. He "moved back" to Pittsburgh only to help out Kerry and to look at the chances for challenging Rep. Melissa Hart. She's in a Democratic district, but a socially conservative one. Heinz apparently was shocked when the Dems didn't fall over themselves to hand him their nomination.
Heinz looks way too liberal for that district and his comments about GW and the Israeli lobby will come back to haunt him in any future race.
Heinz should start by running for mayor of Pittsburgh. It's a one-party town and Tom Murphy is not particularly popular for the financial pickle he's got the 'burgh into. Heinz couldn't possibly do any worse.
What a jagoff
PLEASE, make it so. I'd feel more comfortable about our chances of holding the seat if his competition was the Dim son of Heinz Sr.
Actually, I don't care which way inherited money tends. The money belongs to the person who earned it and should be passed to his or her heirs -- which doesn't include the bastard factories in downtown Boston (and other locales.) The death tax should be done away with completely. If you want to keep the death tax, I suggest you call 1-800-DEMOCRATSRUS.
You think Kerry's 1970's Kansas City group might have planned Teresa's husband change long ago?
Is that what your hinting at?
Can we get a picture of "P" please?
The FReepmistresses need some eye candy!
The Heinz family just hides their money in tax shelters like family foundations. The estate tax barely if ever affects them. It actually affects middle to upper middle class way more often who want to pass their assets on to their children and don't have the big bucks to establish foundations like Bill and Melinda Gates...for example. So no...keeping the estate tax is STILL a bad idea.
Two reasons that he can't -- one technical and the other, practical.
First, he doesn't live in the city. He could move, but I'm sure that he wouldn't want to.
Two, it would show off his complete ineptitude as an administrator or an idea man. Being in the Congress, he could hide amongst all of the other incompetents, fools, appeasers, and traitors.
His real dad must be so proud? Not!!
