New York (CNN) — As polls opened for a highly anticipated congressional runoff election in Georgia Tuesday, Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff demurred when asked by CNN's Alisyn Camerota about the race's national implications.
"The contrast in this district is between a career politician -- my opponent, Karen Handel, who is notorious for cutting off funding for life-saving breast cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood -- or a fresh voice who wants to work across the aisle to get things done, grow our local economy, (and) work to make health care more accessible and affordable for women and folks with pre-existing conditions," he said on "New Day."
"Out-of-state money has poured in on both sides. It's become a little bit of an arms race," the Democrat admitted. "I'm proud of the fact that my campaign is powered by small-dollar grassroots fundraising of an average contribution of less than $50 while my opponent's campaign has been bailed out by the same old special-interest super PACs peddling deception, fear-mongering and hate here in Georgia for months now."
"You want to see this race as about you against Karen Handel," Camerota pushed. "Understood. You've worked hard. But do you not see the national implications of this race, do you not think it's at all a referendum on Donald Trump?"

I remember Allyson Camerota when she was just an insipid FOX newscaster. Now she is an insipid newscaster for a rival channel.
HA HA I’m not at all sure!
And at least we didn’t send 0bama.....
Only once...and they weren't alone.
Another great example of our plight...
A Congressional Race in GA has turned into the most money ever for such a campaign.
Another reason I STILL BELIEVE that all funding for office should ONLY be by the people directly involved. If the guy/gal/it can’t do for YOU directly, you shouldn’t be able to pour millions into his campaign.
This is still supposedly close and the LIB can’t even vote for himself??? How in the hell do ‘they’ even consider letting him represent them????
Also, if SHE wins by 15 the drivel will be “What did you expect? It has been R for 40 some years”
If SHE wins by 5 the drivel will be that “In actuality, it is too close to call etc etc etc”
If HE wins by .0000000001, there will be NO recount, NO investigation and the LIBs will claim he won in a landslide.
Perez also sent Ossoff to a Boston barber to get a JFK-style windswept haircut.
Also..... Democrats w/ vintage Jackie Kennedy-style clothing, and pillbox hats, are asked to send them to Jon ASAP.
But they pretend that doesn’t matter so they can create their ‘narrative’.
But, but, but ... Ossoff’s campaign (outside state donors and hacks!) gave back those tens of MILLIONS to the LOCAL media in advertising ‘donations” to the local media (AJC and WSB and ABCNNBCBS local stations) to “promote” Ossoff!
When you are that stupid, how many times does it take??
Handel - 52%
Ossof - 48%
Just sayin
5.56mm
For the record, as a policy, Planned [non]Parenthood doesn't do breast cancer screening.
And we all remember how CNN kept insisting how Georgia now a toss-up state and Hillary felt confident about it.
There are 10s of millions of people that voted for Jimmy that never voted for a rat ever again. I am one of them.
Hopefully Obama will have the same curing effect.
Its the wet dream false narrative of the lefties.
Only they would think a drop of water in an ocean is a referendum on the ocean...
I thought it was a lie that Planned Parenthood does breast cancer screening.
It is. Good catch. They just do abortions. They trot out those lies to try to protect their funding.
Yes, Ossoff certainly does project that handsome, brash, virile, self-assured masculinity reminiscent of JFK …
[/sarcasm]
The Ossoff tards have been at every intersection waving signs the last few days and on the previous weekends.
They are all grey haired lesbians.
But watch her drop it like a hot coal, if Handel wins.
Good Vegas betting line Handel at Minus 3
Wonder how long it will take ignorant people to finally understand that Planned Parenthood does NOT do breast cancer screenings -— it is the lie that will never die???

Well, you’ll have to give the pencil-necked Pajama Boy wannabe credit for having all the Dim talking points down pat. Perhaps he has a hidden ear piece and some DNC operative is feeding him his lines.
