This story has been archived by the Boston Herald, so I don’t know why Margery Eagan says that ethnicity is no reason for politicians to cower in the case of an apparently corrupt Latino mayor, but the problem is that Massachusetts politicians, including Republican politicians, don’t believe her. They're in favor of cowering, as Matthew Richer has pointed out. But why should the GOP avoid the issue? It’s a winner for them, and they're not going to be losing any Dominican votes. Dominicans don’t vote Republican at all.
