Broun downs Univ. grad for Congressional seat By RYAN BLACK, AOINA SOLOMON and KATIE VALENTINE The Red & Black ATLANTA Paul Broun’s plans for the University are almost as big as his margin of victory over Russell Edwards in the 10th Congressional District race Tuesday night. With 87 percent of precincts reporting, Broun received 67 percent of the 10th District votes putting him well ahead of former University student and Democratic candidate Russell Edwards. Broun said his long-term goal is to make Athens part of a hub of what he called the “biomedical research health care delivery corridor," which includes Augusta and Atlanta, by way of the surrounding major high ways of 1-20, GA-316 and US-78.

So I see the University of Georgia growing in stature. ... We Just have a tremen dous asset there. As world-class of a university as it is now, I think it’s going to continue to expand upon that.” Broun said this election was important for the nation because he thinks Americans are unhappy with the leadership in Washington. “American people are rejecting the policies of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid,” he said.

The Gainesville politician took 53 percent of the votes. His opponent, Democrat Roy Barnes received 43 percent, and Libertarian John Monds took 4 percent. “I think we’ve had some very good people working for us all across the state people that have stepped up and have been willing to go out and e-mail and call their Mends," Deal said. Deal said he believes Republicans on the state and national levels have an advantage this election cycle. "I think there is a mood all across this coun try of saying that we realize that we need to make sure the government is smaller and more efficient,” he said. “And I think that does help the Republicans because that is the position most of us have taken.” See GOVERNOR, Page 3 The ‘Saw’ series is a cult hit -but does the 3-D version impress?
