school, you know, and start at a university. >> reporter: you are going to go straight through? >> yeah, all the way. >> reporter: it may not be home, but he has found in germany the one thing syria

broadcast center in new york city. i'm jeff glor. welcome to the "cbs overnight news." i'm jeff glor. five states in the northeast hold primaries tomorrow. democrats and republicans will vote in connecticut, rhode island, delaware, maryland and pennsylvania. a total of 556 delegates are up for grabs. our new battleground tracker poll shows front-runner donald trump far ahead in pennsylvania. the biggest prize of the night. trump at 49%, followed by texas senator ted cruz at 26%, and ohio governor john kasich with 22%. kasich appeared on face the nation to discuss upcoming primary battles and his decision to start vetting possible runningmates. >> the club for growth is running an ad they say because you have so few delegates. that a vote for you is really a vote for donald trump. what's your response to that ad? >> first of all, they're working agresi a -- aggressively against me. a volt for cruz or trump is a vote for hillary clinton. i have new numbers out of new hampshire. hillary is at 50. trump at 31. hillary at 48. cruz at 34. hillary is at 36. john kasich is at 50. what is really amazing. they surveyed voters in new hampshire who voted in the republican primary which trump won where i finished second to. day, according to this poll, i lead donald trump 26-22. look, i am the only one can defeat hillary clinton consistent endly in 15 national polls. even electoral college shows the same thing. so, look, at the end of it all i think when we are at convention, who can beat hillary? if we don't beat hillary, we lose the supreme court, united states senate, state, local races where we are heading. these guys don't have enough time to turn around super high negatives. >> making electability argument in 1964, the pennsylvania governor made the same argument against barry goldwater. governor scranton said i'm more electable. the delegates didn't listen. why will they listen now? >> if they look at history. goldwater got smoked. we lost everything. that's why. i think delegates are smart when it comes to picking somebody who can win in the fall. look, we're picking up delegates. my message is being heard. i am emerging. we are getting big crowds here in, in rhode island. huge turnout today. we just keep putting one foot in front of the other. it will work out. you know the message of growth of opportunity of bringing people together this is what needs to be heard. not this negative, message of gloom, and doom, and you know "the washington post" said the reason kasich doesn't do so well because he is not apocalyptic candidate. yeah, i don't think the apocalypse is coming next week. i think we can straighten this country out i am going to keep talking. >> you are competing in the delegate conversation with donald trump, and his campaign manager said this, this week to some republicans. he gitets it. the negatives are going to come down. the image is going to change. what is your reaction to that? >> will i don't want any body to have negatives. i can tell you after my first year as governor. i was one of the most unpopular governors, maybe the most unpopular governor in the country. it takes a long time to change negatives. people have to see that you are actually being fruitful in your work. what happened with me. when people started getting work. balancing budgets and reaching out it changed. you can't turn negatives around overnight. not possible to do because when you create that, that negative impression in people, you just can't talk your way out of it unfortunately for those that have high negatives. >> let me ask you about the convention coming up. republican convention. there are reports that you have been vetting runningmates. that you might announce one as early as june. what can you tell us about that? >> well we have some old hands now who are beginning to do that. these things come quickly. and you don't want to have yourself in a position of where you got to pick somebody out of a hat. i have skilled hands who are, beginning now to take a look and figure out who would really fit. and you know it's just starting. so there isn't a lot to report. >> i could imagine though, john kasich making his argument to delegates. might say here's the ticket not. just john kasich. what the ticket may look like. >> yeah, i think that's interesting. >> might you do that? >> it might be. might be. it's possible. i don't run the campaign. i'm just a candidate. okay. i know what is going on. i had to prove that we were going to start vetting. these are things you talk about as a group i will have my strong opinions of it at some point. we are at the preliminary stage. yeah, it is always possible. reagan tried to do that in 1976. didn't win. >> didn't work out so well for him. >> yeah. didn't work out later. did work out later the he influenced the country. there is something to be said for that. >> thank you, governor. we will end it right there. >> all right. thank you. >> on the democratic side. bernie sanders looking for new momentum. our battleground tracker in pennsylvania shows hillary clinton leading sanders by eight points. sanders discussed his campaign with john dickerson on "face the nation." >> senator, i want to ask -- hillary clinton has more votes and delegates. is your view that democrats want to vote for you but there is something rig add but the system keeping that from happening? >> no, john, we started the campaign 60 points behind secretary clinton. in the last couple weeks, a little bit, we have come in, in an enormous way. we are running against the most powerful political organization in the united states of america. i am very proud of the campaign that we have run. we have won 16 states right now. in almost all of the contests we win, the younger people, by that i mean not just kids, but you, know people, 45 years of age or under. i think the ideas we are talking about are what the american people and people in the democratic party want to hear. we are the future of the democratic party. so i am very proud of where we are and we look forward to fighting this out through california. >> one of the issues you talked about so much is income of inequality. and pr did analysis and found in places where income of inequality was high, hillary clinton was winning in those places you. were asked about this on meet the press. you said poor people don't vote. in states like ohio, florida, new york, michigan which you won. those who would be, earning less than $30,000 ended up voting more for hillary clinton. that doesn't seem to be the case. >> well for a start. one of the challenges we have as a nation is that we have one of the lowest voter turnouts in general of any major country on earth. 63% of the american people didn't vote. those numbers were worse for young people and for low income people. i believe that, what we are trying to do in this campaign, john, with some success, is bring people into the political process. and obviously we, have got to do better. but i would hope that -- if i am the nominee, that on election day you are going to see a very, very large voter turnout. and itch that its the case, i think we can change the dynamics of american politics, so it is not just big money interests, who help elect candidates through, throughout ray just campaign contributions, but what we have is a vibrant democracy where all people participate. >> senator sanders, thank you so much. >> thank you very much. >> watch the full interviews go to whenever i try to

the 400th anniversary of his death this past week. one areas of mystery surround a dictionary he may have owned. >> reporter: we think we know william shakespeare. but the truth is he is really a mystery. >> there is evidence that a john shakespeare lived here from around the middle of the 1550s. >> reporter: paul edmonton head of research and knowledge at the shakespeare birth place trust at stratford upon avon. >> the room we believe shakespeare was born in 1564. >> reporter: what little is known about shakespeare the man comes from public record. for example, his father, john shakespeare was a prosperous glove maker and wool dealer. >> he became mayor of stratford. >> reporter: in new york city far from shakespeare's home town that two rare book sellers, george koppelman and dan wexler think they have locked into one of the great what if stories ever. >> that the contents of the case is a major shakespeare discovery. >>y, yes. >> what if the marked up old book they bought on e-bay for $4,300 in 2008, a kind of dictionary published in 1580 called barret's alveary actually belonged to william shakespeare. >> it draws you in. >> they brought their find to the morgan library in new york city in the summer of 2014 to show to paul edmonson. >> trying to puzzle out the purpose of the page. >> reporter: the proof, koppelman and wexler believe is in the scribblings in the margins and huh they seem suspiciously similar to wordings in shakespeare's writing. >> shuffled together by ignorance. >> shuffled one of the famous, hamlet, shuffle off this mortal coil. >> the title, alviary means beehive. a cambridge professor sent out students calling them his diligent bees to collect word and their uses. >> does this feel as if it might be shakespeare? >> i wouldn't rule that possibility out. if these are the annotations of shakespeare, that are before us, then of course it is truly astonishing. objectively, there is a lot of work to be done on this book. >> when shakespeare was 16, until around the age of 13, he attended king edward vi grammar school in stratford. more than 400 years later the school is still in use. >> he would have learned latin, greek. a little bit of rhetoric. >> bennett carr its head master. all the ingredients what made shakespeare shakespeare. >> absolutely. >> came from -- >> this very room. >> reporter: in spite of images of shakespeare around, especially in stratford, what we think he looked like, is largely based on this likeness in the first folio, the first compilation of shakespeare's plays published in 1623, seven years after his death. >> it really is the truest portrait we know that survives of him. >> reporter: heather wolf is curator of manuscripts at folger shakespeare library in washington, d.c. when you talk about down in george's barrett's. if it wasn't annotated by shakespeare, who else would have done all those annotations? >> i mean there are literally thousand of candidates. >> reporter: complicated our mystery is the fact that the only verified samples of shakespeare's handwriting are signatures which bear little resemblance to each other let alone. jottings in the book. does this look like this? >> the folger shakespeare library largest collection of original documents. >> michael whitmore director of the folger says the job of scholars is to behobious. havi look at the book. you are looking for bad news. >> we said bring it on. yet to read. george has yet to read an argument that takes our best example seriously. >> kolleman and wexler at their own expense, published a book detailing their evidence. they dij tipsed the alviary page by page and put it online. so skeptics can study it. they can only trace the ownership back to the mid 1800s. there its no dwchlt -- dna or csi magic to prove or disprove their claim. only databases that can tell whether these notes were common place phrases or unique to shakespeare. >> here, okay. there it is. >> but there its this. >> you see he is imitating this capital w. >> we see it elsewhere. see it with the s with shuffled. >> we see it three times with the s. >> five times with the w. >> and with no other letter. >> w and s. because it was william shakespeare's book? or just coincidence? >> in it is. but i feel like there is just too much there. >> we are going down into the vault which is where we keep all of our books and manuscripts. >> reporter: soon the alviary will come through the door. the fol ge r shakespeare library agreed to accept it on loan. here, scholars will be able to see it, touch it. and compare it to other books from the period. >> this is an extreme example of a dictionary that came out in 1572. >> it's got writing everywhere. >> yeah. >> as for koppelman and wexler. who ever heard of book sellers thrilled not to sell a book? >> if some one offered us a price, right now, said you have to -- find a way to cancel your loan agreement with the folger i will write you such and such a check. that would not work for us. >> we are confident the work we have done. we would like to see it validated. ♪ ♪ >> reporter: validation at best will be a
