And by that I don’t mean the ex-speaker’s three co-defendants (who certainly are) or former aides or other business associates (none of whom have been charged in the case), but the docile Democratic House members who offered DiMasi a literal vote of confidence in reelecting him House speaker in January while unanswered questions about his conduct — and multiple investigations — swirled around the North End leader.

The 135 House Democrats who voted for DiMasi, only to see him flee his office weeks later under a cloud, are quickly becoming the focus of the Massachusetts Republican Party. Mass GOP chairwoman Jennifer Nassour tells the Globe that the party plans to make “household names” out of the group, which includes all but eight House Democrats — and not in a flattering way. “Every House member who supported DiMasi will be called out for endorsing his corrupt leadership,” she said. “It’s time, once again, to clean up the mess on Beacon Hill by electing new legislators who are committed to small government, lower taxes, and finally ending the culture of corruption and waste.”

The go-along Dems may be in the GOP’s crosshairs. The bigger question is whether the state’s Republican Party, which has struggled lately to even field candidates against as Democratic lawmakers, will be firing at them with a pea-shooter or something more substantial.
