Why does Teresa live in PA and John in MA?

[59millionmorons]

Thats odd isnt it. Teresa is voting in Pittsburg tomorrow.

[venus]

1. Just heard that myself. n/t

[DrZeeLit]

2. Do you really think Cheney "lives" in Wyoming?

Nice pr for THK to vote in Pennsylvania.
That's politics!

[NYCGirl]

3. They live part of the time in PA, and part of the time in MA. Nothing odd

about it at all. Well-to-do people sometimes have more than one house.

9. Yes, they have quite a few homes. PA is Teresa's

home. She runs the Heinz foundation there. I see no reason for her to change her state of residence just because she married John Kerry.

And, you people: Quit making sexist assumptions that the wife just follows the husband around like a pet dog! For heavens sakes!

13. Yeah, you go Hog lover---you are correct

My grandparents had a NH summer house and RI "real" home. They split the voter registration,etc so that they had a say in local matters in each town. Nana voted absentee in NH if they weren't up there in November skiing or something. She was technically a NH resident, he a RI resident

Its not uncommon if people have multiple residences but they were way ahead of that curve doing it in the 1940s through the 1970s.

11. Speaking of their houses.........

the one in Boston is beautiful....a giant brownstone in Beacon Hill.

4. THK runs the Heinz Foundation from PA. They live both places.

[Robert Oak]

5. heinz foundation versus senate seat

the huge grants go to Penn. from the Heinz foundation and in turn
she might have tax reasons as well as loyalty to stay as a resident.

Kerry's obvious. He's their Senator.

[TheDonkey]

6. They've got friggin 5 houses

they bounce around. If I was a billionare I'd bounce around too.

[Catt03]

7. they have a home in: MA, CO, , PA, DC

He bought a home in MA when he was single and is registered in MA; she in PA

[JI7]

8. They live together but registered in different states

remember, teresa has lived for years in pennsylvania where her first husband was senator. she has a home there and her kids are registered there also. when she is there kerry goes there also.

10. Do you really want answers? Because no one really knows . . .

so all that you'd get are guesses. What mine?

1.) John must reside in Massachusetts in order to retain his Senate seat. That's the law. And that's no guess.

2.) As to Teresa . . . ummmmmmmm . . . maybe her life estate that she inherited from her first hubby requires it? or maybe the foundation requires it? or maybe Teresa merely WANTS to retain her primary residence as Pennsylvania? again, tis only guesses.

12. See post #9 this thread. Get rid of sexist assumptions, please.

[sangh0]

14. Yes, sexist and old fashioned

Some people assume that 2nd marriages are just like a first.

[kskiska]

15. They've got two homes in MA – Boston & Nantucket

Then there's Pittsburgh, D.C., and Idaho, I believe, where they ski.

[marlakay]

16. My daughter is voting in Hawaii where her husband is

stationed in the air force, but Kyle is still registered in Texas where they were before and he likes to keep things there because of taxes. Also he feels he is helping put one more dem vote to Texas!

Has nothing to do with their lives or where they live! They are in love and live in same state together, so people just have to stop assuming the worst of people!!!

[splat]

17. they call different cities "home" n/t

[realcountrymusic]

18. Because

John Kerry is the junior senator from Massachusetts and must be a resident and registered to vote in his state. Teresa has deep ties to western Pennsylvania.

Simple enough.

19. This is from a week old FReeper thread. ie Kerry and Teresa don't live...

together. Kerry is a pussy whipped gigolo. Kerry/Heinz, a marriage of convenience....the same old trash. Next it'll be Teresa and Hillary are devil worshiping lesbian lovers.
