'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.

WHOMEVER,...somebody should challenge Kerry,...if only in fairness to the residents of Massachusetts.

Regardless D-Joy,....don't you think it quite odd that Kerry was even still a senator while campaigning for at least 2 years?

Bob Dole gave up his Seat, since knowing full well (as all must know?) that one cannot fulfill their Senatorial Duties for their constituants...while simultaneously running for The Presidency.

But then, Dole and Party displayed honor, integrity and class.
Whereas, Kerry and Party having none explains much and/or not caring a hoot about and duties to The Massachusetts Constituancy. Besides, had their votes in his pockets already.

Mitt Romney is the Gov of our state because he ran against Shannon O'Brien, a weak candidate who had made more than a few enemies.

Kerry and Kennedy are viewed my some around here as not liberal enough. Corsi, with enough money behind him could get 40- 45% but don't get you hopes up that Kerry will loose. His war record never got him elected, it was his anti-war record that did it.

Stay healthy,
