GENE RANDALL, CNN ANCHOR: To election 2000, presidential candidates are out in force today in Iowa, battling the clock and travel fatigue ahead of Monday's party caucuses. CNN's Jeanne Meserve is in Des Moines. Jeanne?</s>JEANNE MESERVE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Gene, Senator Bill Bradley is in Iowa, about to embark on a four-day bus tour that will take him to Des Moines, Dubuque, Davenport, and a lot of other towns, cities and small hamlets. He is, of course, trying to drum up enthusiasm and drum up votes before the Iowa Caucuses, which hit on Monday. It is an uphill battle for Bradley here. This is a state where organization is key, and Al Gore has the upper hand in that department. But in New Hampshire yesterday, Bradley made it clear that no matter what happens here, Iowa is the beginning of his campaign, not the end.</s>BILL BRADLEY (D), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: We are roughly a little less than a week before the Iowa -- Iowa Caucuses and February 1 is New Hampshire. And both Iowa and New Hampshire is the opening act of this campaign, and then we have five weeks it suddenly becomes a national campaign.</s>MESERVE: Bradley is hoping for 31 percent of the vote here. That is as wells as any insurgent has done in Iowa. Senator Edward Kennedy got 31 percent when ran against Jimmy Carter in 1980. Turnout is going to be key for Bradley. On this bus tour, he is going to be trying to drum up enthusiasm amongst the young voter who he has enlisted who may not be familiar or comfortable with the caucus problem -- caucus process rather. He is going to be trying to propel them out of living rooms and kitchens to the caucuses on Monday night. Jeanne Meserve, CNN, reporting live from Des Moines, Iowa.
