Obama Campaign Rallying Supporters In Mass.

BOSTON (AP) — President Barack Obama doesn't have any competition in next month's Massachusetts Democratic presidential primary, but that isn't stopping campaign workers from using the balloting to rally supporters.

Obama for America-Massachusetts has scheduled what it calls a "weekend of action" to reach out to voters.

On Saturday and Sunday the campaign has scheduled dozens of events across the state, including voter registration drives, door-to-door canvasses and phone banks.

In an e-mail to supporters, Obama for America Massachusetts State Director Carl Nilsson said Bay State residents will play a special role in this year's presidential contest, especially if former Gov. Mitt Romney becomes the Republican nominee.

Nilsson said Massachusetts voters have seen firsthand how Romney has changed his position on key issues.

Polls show Obama remains popular among Massachusetts voters, who backed him in 2008.
