    Republicans launch 'W ketchup'

    By Oliver Conway
    BBC



    Heinz ketchup has a new rival
    First there were "freedom fries" - for patriotic Americans who couldn't stomach the French version because of their opposition to the war in Iraq.
    Now there's "W" ketchup to dip them in.

    The W apparently stands for Washington after the nation's first president - but the manufacturers are throwing their weight behind George W Bush's bid for re-election.

    In an appeal to Republicans, the sauce's website says "you don't support Democrats, why should your ketchup?"

    That is a reference to Teresa Heinz Kerry - wife of the Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry.

    She inherited a fortune from her former husband Senator John Heinz, who died in a plane crash in 1991.

    Even before this latest salvo, Heinz was forced to point out that it was a non-partisan organisation and that no member of the Kerry family was involved in its management.

    The firm will be hoping the election doesn't become a food fight.

    I agree completely with this Administration’s goal of a regime change in Iraq-John Kerry
    even if that enforcement is mostly at the hands of the United States, a right we retain even if the Security Council fails to act-John Kerry
    He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat-John Kerry
