Despite affirming that they will throw their weight behind different candidates, both former Republican gubernatorial candidate Stephen Pierce and former U.S. Senator Paul Tsongas told a Kennedy School of Government audience yesterday that next week's elections will mark a turning point in the state's political landscape.
"This is the type of election that comes along once in a lifetime," Pierce said. "Every election is said to be important. This one is critically important."
Both Pierce and Tsongas, in separate 20 minute addresses, agreed that either gubernatorial candidate--Democratic nominee John R. Silber or Republican nominee William F. Weld '66--would shake up the state's political status quo if elected.
In a rhetorical stunt, Pierce explained thatthe CLT petition would ultimately help students."When those students graduate and if they decideto stay in Massachusetts, they'll have a job," hereasoned.
"It seems that Dr. Silber is aJohnny-come-lately on this issue," said Pierce.
