Please Chris - run for that idiot * brown-noser Melissa "Missy" Hart's seat - or even aim high and go after Ricky Sanctomonious Santorum.http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04132/314452.stmOn a recent April evening, it was business as usual at the annual Beaver County Democratic Dinner in the ballroom of The Fez restaurant in Hopewell: chicken on the menu, party stalwarts on the dais, and interminable speeches on the program.
But in the audience, something was stirring. Women of all ages were lining up at a table near the front, clutching copies of the Pittsburgh society magazine Whirl featuring Christopher D. Heinz -- son of the late Sen. John Heinz, R-Pa., and stepson of Sen. John F. Kerry of Massachusetts, presumptive Democratic nominee for president -- staring somberly from the cover.
There, in person, was young Heinz himself, tall, unassuming, with flashing dark eyes, and stooped-Cary-Grant shoulders, patiently signing each copy. Finally, United Steelworkers organizer Frank Snyder acknowledged what many in the room were thinking:
"Chris Heinz," he intoned from the lectern, "you are one good-looking guy." Heinz blushed as the room erupted in laughter.

Heinz's presence at the dinner, where he did not speak and said he was there to "observe and learn," only fanned the rumors that he was coming back "home" to start a political career of his own as a Democrat, and possibly one with the resources, name recognition and charisma to challenge U.S. Rep. Melissa Hart, R-Bradford Woods, for her seat in the 4th Congressional District.
