Some GOPers Already Fed Up With Billy Long

Springfield News-Leader: "Businessman Michael Wardell, who ran unsuccessfully in the Republican primary for the 7th District, on Monday endorsed Democratic candidate Scott Eckersley over Republican Billy Long. 'Billy Long runs as an outsider, but is deeply rooted in the political establishment," said Wardell, who earned less than one percent of the votes cast in the eight-way GOP race. 'Scott is the only true outsider in this race..'"

Later in the article, Wardell is quoted as saying, "Long displayed his lack of knowledge of major issues facing our country and our district throughout the primary."
