FRANK SESNO, CNN ANCHOR: For the Democrats tonight, much is at stake as well, especially for Bill Bradley after his loss in Iowa by a good size margin to Al Gore. Bradley is seeking to reestablish momentum, and he's hoping this independent-minded state of New Hampshire will help him do it. CNN's Jeanne Meserve followed Bradley this morning, joins us now with the latest on him -- Jeanne.</s>JEANNE MESERVE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Frank, this is a big day and big night for Bill Bradley. It may be his best chance to gain the upper hand in his contest with Al Gore. But this morning, he held an event that brought smiles even to the jaded members of the press corps traveling on his campaign bus.</s>BILL BRADLEY (D), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: And so, what I want to do is I want to make it easier for your parents to be able to pay for this kind of facility and in the course of the campaign, there are three or four things that I've talked about that do that. I'm sure you don't know what these are.</s>MESERVE: Bradley was speaking at a YMCA day care center here in Manchester, New Hampshire which had some wonderful unscripted moments. The headline: We now know that Bill Bradley does not eat snow. We learned that nugget in response to a question from one of the kids. This afternoon, some of Bradley's supporters, Senator Bob Kerrey and Nikki Tsongas, the widow of Paul Tsongas, will be holding an event to talk about what they call distortions of Bradley's voting record by Al Gore. You can expect in the debate tonight, if the opportunity arises, that Bradley will also mention that. He will also be trying to delineate more carefully the differences between himself and Al Gore. But for this afternoon, he's resting up and preparing for the debate, which could be a pivotal moment in the run-up to this primary, and also in his race for the presidency -- Frank.</s>SESNO: Jeanne Meserve, thanks very much.
