Well Heinz was a revered name here in PA (you may recall our Senator by that name who died in a helicopter crash).
You may also recall a certain figure in the ‘04 Presidential election by that name. Sided with the other camp.
If she’s a good candidate, then God bless her. But to be honest I have just about had my fill of candidates who are scions of political figures. We have a dunce of a Senator who got in on his diddy’s name (Casey). I want honest credentials (which she may well have), not name recognition. Think FDR vs. TR.
no offense mind you, just not one to mince words.
I’m not implying that Kate should get the nomination or the Senate seat just because of her name. I was merely explaining the use of both names and the fact that it’s far from some feminist statement that was inferred from your first post.
Kate had a rocky time as Chair of the GOP. And there have been some other issues. I’m not sure how strong a candidate she would be.
Congress maybe. Senator? I’m not so sure.
Still, in the nominating process, there are those who would supporter her ~just because~ she’s Dick Obenshain’s daughter.
Heinz was never a revered name amongst Conservatives. ;-)
