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.
Not much chance IMO, and I'd prefer another source as confirmation to the story, but ping anyway. :^)

Senatorial challenge and a lawsuit.....Kerry had forethought socking away $15 million from his campaign funds. That may be a low ball figure.
Corsi should be discouraged from running. This would be an even bigger joke than the Keyes candidacy was.
The process of removing a Senator would have to come from the Senator's own party. Conviction for a felony, gross malfeasance, bribery....these would be grounds. But then, Kerry would stand before them and say, "Let he among you cast the first stone!" Then they'd do lunch.
I'm with you, Tonk. If I had any money, I'd support any effort, at any cost, to expose Kerry for the liar that he is.
Thanks for your continued efforts.
Hi, kellynla:
I think it's a GREAT idea!
Just what Massachusetts needs... A good Old Fashioned name-callin', mud-slingin', cat-scratchin', back bitin' Campaign!
Kerry would start cryin' like a defiled little girl within the fist two weeks!!!
Jack.
I think I would move there just to vote for him.
That would seem to be a frivilous law suit, considering that the Swiftees apparently have irrefutable evidence to back up their charges.
But what the heck, it's only Teresa's money he will be spending.
The Bosox understand a sacrifice fly to bring home the runner.

Will John Edwards be representing him in this case? Oh wait there's not enough money in channeling a dead VC teen who Kerry shot in the back.
But if he stood before them and flubbed his statement and said: "Let he among you without a stone, cast the first sin." He would be pummeled to death by the sins, his stoneless peers hurled at him.
Too funny!
LOL! "Byrds of a feather..."
And never before has the lowly letter "y" so significently defined the entire message of a sentence.
This is the best we can hope for and it's plenty. All K's traitorous deeds would make headlines again. What a glorious campaign season it would be.
This could be good ......
Do you think he will put a muzzle on Terry Kerry if the fecal matter hits the rotary oscillating device?
