Today's edition of GPB's "Political Rewind" works backwards from the early Friday morning vote in the U.S. Senate that killed – for now – the Republican effort to repeal Obamacare.

Today’s additional panelists: GOP strategist Chip Lake; Heath Garrett, former chief of staff to U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson; and Democratic activist Blynne Olivieri.
