According to a recent poll of party delegates, House Minority Leader Steven D. Pierce is leading in the fight for party delegates. Former U.S. Attorney William F. Weld '66 is also a frontrunner. Paul Cronin, who entered the race yesterday, is trailing behind.
Meanwhile, Republican legislators supportive of Pierce slammed Weld for comments he made over the weekend about his rival. The legislators accused Weld of name calling, and one legislator said Pierce "does not use McCarthy-like tactics."
Weld said Pierce was unelectable because of what he called his extreme views on abortion and because he filed several years worth of tax returns late.
