Madame Secretary, we hate to hold up the convention, but if you'd hold on for a minute or two... all right, First Essex and Middlesex reports 94: Steve Pierce, 51: Paul Cronin and 75 for Bill Weld.
Hampden and Hampshire report Pierce: 34, two for Cronin and three for Weld.
Harry J. Wilson '93, a Pierce volunteer and member of the Harvard Republican Club, joined other Harvard students and Young Republicans across the state in demonstrating for their candidates at the convention rallies.
Eager for the results, the crowd begins to chant, "NO MORE POLLS! NO MORE POLLS!" At 3:17, Pierce supporters begin to hand out confetti. The sound of the gavel banging against the podium resounds throughout the convention hall. The chair begins to speak.
Total votes cast: 5080, Steven Pierce: 2672 or 52.6 percent, Paul Cronin: 563 or 11.1 percent, and Bill Weld: 1845 or 36.3 percent...That's a supermajority. Steven Pierce has been nominated and he has received a supermajority!
