'Unfit for Command' Author Considers Challenging Kerry in Senate Race [Jerry Corsi]
NewsMax ^ | Nov. 29, 2004

Posted on 11/27/2004 12:42:30 PM PST by West Coast Conservative

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.

There is no way kerry will ever open himself to being cross-examined under oath. A kerry lawsuit would be suicidal.

OMG that would be the campaign of the century! It would be hilarious to see Kerry have to face nothing except what he did to this country and to the men of Viet Nam in order to get re-elected. I could see it become the most expensive campaign in history in short order.

Let it happen! I'll donate $100 today!!!

Well....

Kerry will win.

He could then try to use that victory as PROOF of his innocence and how the people DEBUNKED the LIES spread by Swifities...

However, it would not matter as Hitlary is going to win the nomination.

The Pubbies should be getting their 'Arkansas State Troopers for Truth' ready...

Great that he runs against Kerry. It's going to be "fun" taking Kerry apart.

HooHa! Bring him on!

Corsi better update his will and get some good bodyguards. I don't think the libs would ever let this campaign take hold and I suspect nothing is beneath them. Kerry would be backed in a corner in a way he never was in the presidential race.
