Mitt Romney heckled at his final rally before Iowa caucuses

[alp227]

Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney was heckled repeatedly during his closing rally of the Iowa campaign, with shouts that he is ignoring the poor and is too close to Wall Street.

The protests came as the candidates made their closing arguments before Tuesday's Iowa caucuses, the first of the contests to choose a Republican to take on Barack Obama for the White House.

The protesters were from the Occupy movement, which has engaged in a series of disruptive events round Des Moines over the last week.

Romney refused to be flustered by the protesters, saying they had a right to express their views, but he brought his speech to an abrupt end soon afterwards, possibly to avoid any further disruption. He told the protesters he hoped they would make the same "noise" if Obama visited Iowa.

That is so weak. And soooooo small.

2. He had to get off stage because his

batteries were wearing down. His handlers will have to start winding him up.
