Updated: "Twitterview" Recap

Yesterday, Gilbert had the pleasure of participating in his first ever "Twitterview!" A Twitterview is short for a Twitter-Interview.

Scott Inman from KATV, @KATVScott, asked questions to @GilbertBaker on Twitter. Then Gilbert responded to the quesionts with his thoughts in 140 characters or less!

We hope that you enjoyed watching the interview unfold before you on your Twitter homepage. In case you missed it, here is the Twitterview recap:

@KATVScott: Thanks for joining me. First up, when do you plan to file?

@GilbertBaker: I plan to file papers for U.S. Senate Monday morning

@KATVScott: Some changes to the field this week. What are your thoughts on Bill Halter jumping into the Dem primary?

@GilbertBaker: It forces Blanche to show her hand and indicates a lot of discontent with DC out there

@KATVScott: Sen Lincoln says no to public option, now wants insurance available across state lines, Where's she going wrong on healthcare?

@GilbertBaker: She supports massive federal involvement in healthcare. That is ineffective and crushes us with additional debt.

@KATVScott: Speaking of debt. Blue Dogs stole your thunder today with proposal for Balance Budget Amendment. Any chance of passing?

@GilbertBaker: This seems like an election year ploy. Too little, too late. Lincoln must be replaced to assure BBA passage in the senate

@KATVScott: Last check, you were leader in campaign money, but are seriously outpaced by Sen Lincoln. Is there enough money avail to win?

@GilbertBaker: Yes, but the Rep. nom must have a conservative message strong enough to attract necessary $$. Her record can't change with $

@KATVScott: Where does your conservative message differ from the large group of candidates who also want the nomination?

@GilbertBaker: Not connected with DC, oppose bailouts and earmarks, support BBA, NRA endorsed 2008.

@KATVScott: Some viewer questions, now. One about guns. want to know why you didn't vote to pass conceal carry privacy bill?

@GilbertBaker: 100% NRA voting record. We did pass CC privacy law last session. Rep. Stewart sponsored, I voted for it.

@KATVScott: Another viewer asks, if elected, would you work to close border and deport illegals?

@GilbertBaker: Yes.The border must be sealed and we must obey existing law, ie deport those here illegally. NO! to amnesty.

@KATVScott: Last question. You told me last time we talked you are a DC outsider. How can you promise not to become DC insider once there?

@GilbertBaker: I'm going to live in Arkansas, I'm self limiting to two terms, and NO to earmarks. 3 ways to maintain an independent AR voice
