Today's edition of GPB's "Political Rewind" focused on President Donald Trump's firing of FBI director Jim Comey, his Twitter warning that the White House again might be a recording studio, and how that D.C. storm might affect Republican Karen Handel's chances in the Sixth District.

Mark Rountree of Landmark Communications, one of the few firms polling the race, brought out some highly interesting numbers: Men are lining up behind Handel. Sixth District women are choosing Democrat Jon Ossoff.
