Reporter should have brought some donuts with him if he wanted to get Billys attention.

This would be whole lot better if they invested in a microphone. Also who did the camera work in this video? It is terrible!

Can't you hear Billy Long sounding like Homer Simpson... MMM. Donuts.

I am going to pull a republican ballot and vote AGAINST billy long, and roy blunt.

And I am probably not the only democrat to do so.

Looks to me like Billy Long give Eli the time he wanted? I have no idea how anything negative could be contrived from this.

Sounds like that's what you wanted to see. Common sense says if Billy answered any questions it would have been those answers that got posted instead of the interview.

Ooops - video, not interview.

9:17 - Billy didn't answer anything. On 5 occasions in the last 2 weeks, I asked for interviews, and Long declined all of them.

I was asking him about earmarks, lobbyists his campaign hired, and how a "citizen legislator" could defend actions that really look like those of a career politician. I would have asked him how he feels about Tuesday, his confidence in the outcome. Nothing has been answered.

The only time in the last 2 months I got answers out of him was when he had the opportunity to attack Sen. Nodler and Sen. Goodman.

For clarification, I'd like to see you, anon, walk behind them recording with a flip (camera), Canon, and bag.

Long answered questions, as did all the other candidates at the forum held at MSSU.It has been televised and replayed several times. Maybe you should take notice of what is going on around you before you try to become a CNN reporter. I think you are biased and too worried about the size of a candidates ass instead of his brain ! Smear tactics don't work too well around here, ya know ?

Was that the forum where Long got his answeres texted to him by his staff, or was that somewhere else? I forget . . .

One more than one occasion during the forums, including the last forum at MSSU, Long was clueless about the topic of the question. You may remember the question about Afghanistan. Let's not forget Democrat Tim Davis watched Billy Long received text messaged answers during the forum in Ozark.

So I am going to assume Billy Long is a fat ass with a very small brain.

That was a dumb video. Was that supposed to be shocking or something? We have no idea what's going on or what's being said.
