Many See Politics in Kerry Stepson Future

[GreenPartyVoter]

BEAVER, Pa. (AP) - Chris Heinz hasn't earned a paycheck since quitting his job at a private equity firm in New York City to work on the Democratic presidential campaign of his stepfather, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry. But many people who meet the engaging 31-year-old hope his next job will be a political one.

"I really have no plans after November second," Heinz says during a campaign party at a supporter's home. "If I could be half as successful as my dad and stepdad, I would be a happy guy."

Everywhere Heinz goes, what he might do after the election generates buzz - especially in western Pennsylvania where the Heinz name is as much a part of the region's history as steel mills and pierogies.

His father, Sen. John Heinz III, might have run for president had he not died in a 1991 plane crash. Now Chris Heinz appears on campuses, at Miami hotspots, and at house parties like this one to raise money for Kerry, who married his mother, Teresa Heinz, in 1995.

1. If he runs against Melissa Hart

then she is finished! He will win in a landslide. Then he can take on Santorum. :-)

Or maybe he can run against Santorum. Good idea.
