For Massachusetts Democrats scrambling to reverse the momentum of Republican Scott Brown in the U.S. senate race, mission one is to motivate the faithful.
"Teddy always told me when you're in a fight, there's nobody like organized labor," Vicki Kennedy said Saturday morning at the Dorchester headquarters of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, where state Attorney General Martha Coakley kicked off a swing across the state.

"We can't go backwards now," she said.
