Sen. John Kerry may be making noise about running for president again in 2008, but the Track is given to understand that the little woman, Teresa Heinz Kerry, has made it clear to her hubby that she won't sit still for another campaign. Ever. ``It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing,'' said a FOT. ``She's 66 now, though God bless her, you'd never know it, and you know as you get older, your priorities change. Teresa will never do it again.'' But Teresa's spokesman, Jeff Lewis, was quick to deny the report.
``Teresa Heinz is too smart to say that,'' he said. ``She campaigned her heart out, as did her husband. The people loved her and she loved the people. It was hard work and a great experience and we'll just go from there.'' Sources say Heinz, who claims to have gone into the campaign kicking and screaming, went into a deep funk after George W. Bush was re-elected - especially because the junior senator came so close to victory. ``She was angry and hugely disappointed and pissed off,'' said our Ta-ray-za spy. ``She wanted to win so badly.''
But the ketchup heiress has since snapped out of it. ``She was in Sun Valley for Christmas and New Year's and was having a great time with her family. She's reclaiming her life and I think she's fine,'' said the source. ``But you do something seven days for months and months and put your whole heart and soul into it, so it's hard.''
Also hard, we would imagine, was the hammering the first lady-wannabe took in the press - particularly a Newsweek post-mortem that implied she was hitting the wine with some regularity and causing disruptions on the campaign trail. But Lewis said Teresa, who is traveling at the mo, is ``diving back'' into her Heinz Foundation philanthropy work, and is ``very much leading the charge.'' ``We have a lot of work to catch up on,'' he said, ``and I very much look forward to spending lots of time working right alongside her.''

She'll be in a real pickle if he does run again.
I don't blame her one little bit.
Slow down, I can't ketchup with all the puns.
Pingaroonie.
TERESA IS TO SMART TO SAY THAT???? I THINK WE ALL REMEMBER ALL THE SMART THINGS TERESA HAS SAID.
Now THAT is a headline.
Who are these "people"?
"Teresa Heinz is too smart to say that,..."
dunno. she stuck her foot in her mouth many times during the campaign, of course, to president bushes' advantage.
Aha, so you can't cut the mustard?
No, just pickled.
I suspect she'll stop giving him his allowance, and that'll be the end of it.
Bwahahahahahaha!
Heinz ketchup sales are down ? I'm buying Hunts from now on.
She's going to be busy buying her son Chris a seat from Pennsylvania. Not sure if he's going to challenge Santorum or go for a congressional seat.
Leftwingers. They don't consider us "people."
But I can cut the cheese. Unfortunately, Heinz doesn't make cheese. So you win!
Hmm...is she dropping Kerry's name now that the campaign is over, too? Remember before the campaign started she did not take Kerry's name.
I heard he was going to challenge Melissa Hart.
