10th District Race is Augusta vs. Athens

The race to represent Georgia's 10th congressional district is turning into a spat between two cities.
Both Candidates for the July 17th runoff are Republicans. So what sets them apart more than anything is their home towns.
Jim Whitehead who was the frontrunner last month is From Suburban Augusta and Paul Broun is from Suburban Athens.
In a speech to the Augusta Kuwanis Club earlier this week White head said that his priorities in congress would be Fort Gorden, The Savannah River site and The VA hospital and the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta.
He made reference to his ongoing dispute with the Athens Banner Herald which has issued several editorials critical of Whitehead.
Broun sent out a release accusing Whitehead of being a regional candidate.
Broun was also quick to point out that he did graduate from the medical college of Georgia in Augusta. The two candidates are scheduled to debate on GPB Monday evening.
