If the sun rises in the morning you can be pretty sure that Jill Chambers is about to launch another misleading attack. It's the only currency that a desperate politician like Jill Chambers has left to spend. The latest attack flier accuses Chris Huttman of supporting Vernon Jones for CEO in 2004. That's true, Chris did vote for Vernon in 2004 against an unimpressive crop of challengers. Jill Chambers also attacks Chris for reporting accurate statements about a candidate forum Jones attended.
Look, everyone knows that the problem with Vernon Jones is that he doesn't have the temperament to be in office, not that he isn't qualified. In the Jill Chambers world, if someone says that Vernon Jones has many supporters (which he does) that somehow disqualifies your viewpoint? The most amazing thing about Chambers is her absolute chutzpah (Happy New Years!) in bringing up this attack. As we've documented before on this site, Jill Chambers supported Vernon Jones in 2000 as Chair of the Republican Party. It seems that Vernon was running against County Commission Ken Davis in the Democratic runoff - the same Ken Davis who had delivered a crushing 79-21 electoral defeat against Jill Chambers four years earlier. Chambers got even with Davis by throwing the Republican Party's support behind Jones.
Her history with Jones doesn't stop there. She also took $250 from him. We've documented it all before. As for taking a picture with Al Sharpton that's true also. In 2005 Chris Huttman attended a DNC meeting held in Atlanta that was also attended by Al Sharpton and got his picture made with him. In 2008, what do you think is worse: having your picture taken with Al Sharpton (Chris Huttman) or voting for and supporting George Bush for President twice (Jill Chambers).
