Damn, wouldn't you know it: Ga. benefits of stimulus package greatest in Republican north metro Atlanta whose Republican representatives opposed it.

From the AJC's Political Insider:

[A]ccording to the White House, the stimulus will be the greatest boon in north metro Atlanta congressional districts whose Republican representatives opposed it.

The package will create or save about 9,900 jobs in Georgia’s 7th congressional district, represented by John Linder of Duluth.

Another 9,200 jobs will be created or saved in Georgia’s 6th District, which is represented by Republican Tom Price of Roswell [who has been among the most ardent opponents of the package].
