Today's edition of GPB's "Political Rewind" of necessity began with the scores of dead and hundreds wounded in Las Vegas mass murder that stunned the nation.

Beyond that, we dissected the resignation of Tom Price as President Donald Trump’s secretary of health and human services. One thing you might not have known: Price’s poor relationship with Gov. Nathan Deal at one point is one reason the Sixth District congressional contest was so tough for Republican Karen Handel in June.

To top it all off, we had former secretary of state Cathy Cox onboard to preview tonight’s meeting of the two Staceys in the Democratic race for governor.
