Looks like that pitch was about 69 MPH (69..same as his disapproval number). Did he find HGH instead of WMD?

Didn't sound as bad as I expected. Don't know if they had canned applause mixed in. Some people always boo the politicians.

Former IL Gov Jim Edgar used to get 5x as much booing at Arlington Park. And Former IL Gov George Ryan got at least 10x as much booing at Arlington Park. Near the end of his only term, they pumped in heavily amplified, canned cheering & applause to help drown out the boos. Yup, I know, I went outside for Gov. Ryan both times so I could boo with everyone else. Man did that canned applause was a shocking, telling, sign. Though I don't know if the crowd has booed the IL First Ladies, Mrs. Edgar, Mrs. Ryan or Mrs. Blogo...(5+ years and I still haven't learned to spell the guys name...and will be glad when I can type 'Former' in front of it if I do learn.)
