Super Tuesday!

On Tuesday Massachusetts and other 20 states will hold primaries for both Republicans and Democrats. Obama, Hillary, Romney and McCain are schedule to visit the Bay State (Massachusetts).

There are at least two events scheduled for Monday night. The times and locations are still to be determined. But they are usually free and they will be held in the city of Boston. Keep checking the comment section for updates! As soon as I get details, I will post them on the comment sections.
