Saint Patrick’s Day got off to an early start Friday morning in Lowell.
"We did?” Santorum asked. “You won!” someone offstage said as the crowd cheered.
A small crowd gathers in Needham, as a state representative kicks-off her re-election campaign. Some of the loudest cheers are for Joe Kennedy, III, a friend of the rep, who says he's a lot more than just a name:
