Bush Sworn-In, Swift Boat Vets Glad It's Not Kerry
Thu Jan 20, 2005 5:53 PM ET
By John Crawley
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With thousands of Republican faithful cheering the inauguration of President Bush to a second term on Thursday, a group of veterans at the forefront of the "Swift Boat" campaign banded quietly to salute their part in thwarting the candidacy of Sen. John Kerry.
"Swift Boat guys were not unified in supporting George Bush. Many were independent or many were Democrats. The only point of union was that they did not want John Kerry to be president," Jerry Corsi, co-author of "Unfit for Command," said in an interview after a luncheon at the National Press Club.
The best-selling book questioned Kerry's combat valor as a Navy lieutenant and commander of a swift boat river patrol in Vietnam and put the Massachusetts senator on the defensive soon after he received the Democratic nomination for president. Bush never served in Vietnam.
The book, which was also critical of Kerry's anti-war activities, served as a rallying point for criticism that swelled into a bitter controversy driven by television advertisements and conservative pundits on radio and cable television.
Kerry called the allegations in the book a lie and accused the "Swift Boat" veterans of being a front for the Bush re-election team. The group received some of its funding from long-time Bush supporters and legal advice from a Bush campaign lawyer, but denied it was tied to the re-election apparatus.
Corsi said the impact of the "Swift Boat" effort was bigger than anyone in the advocacy group had imagined.
"It had a life of its own," Corsi said. "But I think the president won his own campaign. I think George Bush deserves all the credit for what he did."
Corsi said the effort against Kerry would not subside even though the election ended nearly three months ago.
He said he plans to move to Massachusetts from New Jersey this year, establish residency and challenge Kerry for Senate in 2008. Kerry has not divulged his political plans.

according to these comments, Mr Corsi does seem serious about his run at Skeery. And, has a built-in base before he starts, including from his fellow freepers
