And Pierce, the House minority leader, told The Associated Press he would continue to fight Weld for the convention delegates.
"We've got a very strong opponent who's outspending us. We're taking nothing for granted," Pierce said.
Most observers predict that the two leading candidates--State Rep. Steven D. Pierce (R-Westfield) and former U.S. prosecutor William F. Weld '66--will each garner enough delegates at the convention to stay on the ticket.
However, some are questioning that prediction thanks to a recent poll of 300 delegates, conducted last week by The Boston Herald and WCVBTV. That poll showed Pierce ahead of Weld by 13 percent going into the convention.
State Rep. John C. Bradford (R-Rochester) said he felt there was a "real chance" of a supermajority for Pierce, citing the results of the Herald poll.
