the origins of. where did this come from? not just the tools and techniques politician by using that this anxiety that is adversely affecting our democracy. i realize nobody had written a history of the white house spin machine. bits and pieces of it had been written about, talked about in many different ways but there was no single comprehensive history the told the story throughout the 20th centuries ago that is what i set out to do with "republic of spin". this book has three narrative stories and i hope berated rather seamlessly, the intention was not for you to jump back and forth but for the characters and this seems to overlap among the three. the first of course is of the presidents themselves who over the last hundred years have built up this machinery and in particular the specific innovation each one developed, specific struggles each one faced, specific challenges that each one confronted as they use these new tools to speak for the american public and try to put across their agenda. a second story confirms less well-known figures, spin doctors, information managers as they may be called more neutrally, experts who are trained in journalism comment advertising, public relations

of formally corralling the unregulated boundless response of black sex. so, all of this is really interesting to me that the kind of formal genuflection towards the threat of white families, reading white women's history of the time there was something to be said about how if marriage left african-americans to read, but free it did something of the same thing for slaveholding families particularly the women in that it had at least as much to do with reinforcing not just the legal, but the moral status of terrified white wives. the sexual accident nation that has only recently begun to be publicized or knowledge from the history of thomas jefferson only through-- not enough. >> this is-- in auto.

white voters made up 72% of the electorate in 2012. and president obama lost the white vote by a larger margin than any winning candidate in american history. trump, cruz, and rubio are attracting new voters most of them white. adding voters always increases the chances of victory, but trump's campaign, should he become the nominee, could also increase minority turnout for democrats, thereby erasing republican gains. and then, jim, there is the question of g.o.p. unity behind a trump-led ticket and that is clearly unanswered. >> pelley: major garrett reporting for us tonight from washington. major, thank you very much. >> pelley: sway with cbs for continuing coverage 2016 coverage. hillary clinton, donald trump and ted cruz are among john dickerson's guests tomorrow morning on "face the nation." no voting on the west coast today, which is a good thing since it is a great day to stay indoors. let's bring in ktvt meteorologist jeff jamison. jeff, a wet weekend in the forecast out west? >> all week it's going to be wet in california, jim. we're going to see waves of rain day after day, all the way through the end of this upcoming week, a very
