Will Long's General Election Campaign Be One Big Vacation? Don't Bet On It.

UPDATE: Long's campaign has now admitted that his long Las Vegas vacation is the reason for the delay. Does his iPhone not work in the desert? 

The early indications were that Fed Up Billy Long was receptive to a series of debates with general election opponents Scott Eckersley and Kevin Craig. But the Eckersley campaign today reports that it "has not received any response from Mr. Long or his campaign officials regarding the terms of the courthouse debates that were agreed to earlier this month. Repeated attempts to contact Mr. Long’s campaign have gone unanswered."

Numerous local politicos have been left to wonder if Long's reluctance to nail down details is related to distractions in Las Vegas.  Long was spotted on a flight to Sin City over the weekend, and I was able to independently confirm that the MGM Grand has been host to a guest named Billy Long this week.  

Stay tuned....
