August 28, 2008 McCain opens first Massachusetts headquarters in Boston Play video

(NECN) - John McCain took a day off yesterday, but his campaign opened its first headquarters in Massachusetts.

Some Democrats protested outside the Boston office, but inside, longtime McCain supporters pledged their support for him.

Meantime -- McCain could inform his VP pick of his decision as soon as today.

And some Bay State Republicans are hoping he will stay local with the selection of former governor Mitt Romney.
