...jeering reached a climax as the candidate stepped to the podium to the theme from Rocky. Robertson briefly tried to fight the crowd by shouting, "People should have the right to be heard when they speak!" Shaken by his reception, he jettisoned his 18-page text and instead delivered 15 minutes of rushed rhetoric on family values...
