Chris Huttman has gained Creative Loafing's endorsement. The AJC is not endorsing this year in legislative races, and CL in 2006 backed Jill Chambers. They echo Huttman's call for a change of leadership, saying:

It also makes sense for the middle-class, aging suburbs that make up the 81st District to elect a candidate from a party that will represent middle-class interests. Huttman fits the bill.

CL also weighs in on Jill Chambers's shameful campaign tactics:

But her behavior at times has been erratic and high-handed. Earlier this month, Huttman — a bright young blogger who’s articulate on the issues — was the subject of a shamefully misleading flier from her campaign. It’s the kind of nasty politicking that all voters should be wary of, regardless of their ideology.

Earlier, Creative Loafing authored an authoritative "check the facts" piece on Jill's misleading mailers.
