Paul Walsh speaks Portuguese!

So vote for him, because he speaks for the people:

While he was working as an assistant DA in Suffolk County (Boston), he decided to return to his hometown of New Bedford, get a little private practice experience and run for DA. But there was one problem. The population of New Bedford is largely of Portuguese extraction and the incumbent DA was of Portuguese descent and spoke Portuguese fluently. So Walsh spent a year at the University of Lisbon learning to speak Portuguese, returned to New Bedford and announced he was running for DA. Walsh was elected in 1990 by a two-to-one margin and has been re-elected handily ever since.

Stick with what works. Supposedly, Paul Walsh has an ad running for his 2006 re-election bid on the local Portuguese TV station accusing Sam Sutter of being too Irish. Tehe, yeah. This guy...

...is accusing the other guy of being too Irish to represent the large Portuguese population of southeast MA. I don't understand Portuguese and there's nothing on YouTube for him, but maybe this MP3 is the ad I heard about tonight?
