'Unfit for Command' Author Considers Challenging Kerry in Senate Race
John Kerry's nightmarish challenge by his Swift Boat veterans and
their allies may not be over.
NewsMax recently chatted with Jerry Corsi, the co-author with Swiftee
John O'Neill of "Unfit for Command" - the runaway New York Times best
seller that torpedoed Kerry's presidential campaign.
Attending a conference in the suburbs of Washington recently, Corsi
let it be known that he is actively considering a run against Sen.
Kerry when his term is up.
Corsi is not a Massachusetts native, but says he has already scouted
for property to declare his residence there.
He appeared excited about the challenge. Federal law allows him to
declare his candidacy at any time and open up a full fusillade against
the Senate's most liberal member.
Corsi thinks his criticisms of Kerry will be well received in the
state that elected Republican Mitt Romney. Even Bush fared better in
Massachusetts in 2004 against its home state candidate than he did
against Gore in 2000.
Corsi also notes that his Italian-Irish ancestry will give him an edge
in a state given to ethnic voting. Kerry is neither Irish nor Italian,
Corsi notes.
As word has circulated about a possible candidacy, Corsi says he has
been flooded with e-mails of support.
Corsi said he has read news reports that Kerry is considering a
lawsuit against him, O'Neill and the Swift Boat Vets.
Presumably the suit would be for defamation. The New York Post's Page
Six quoted a top aide to Kerry saying the senator would need to file
such a suit if he has any prayer of making a presidential bid in 2008.
Incredibly, Kerry is said to be considering such a run.
Corsi said he and O'Neill have discussed the possibility of the
lawsuit, and both said they might offer to pay Kerry for the FedEx
charges to serve them with any court papers.
"Quote me: Bring it on!" Corsi said with a chuckle.
