Script LEAD: IT IS TURNING OUT TO BE A PRETTY CLOSE RACE IN THE EMPIRE STATE. FORMER NEW JERSEY SENATOR BILL BRADLEY IS CHALLENGING VICE-PRESIDENT AL GORE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION. AND TODAY (THURSDAY) BRADLEY WILL PICK UP A NOTABLE ENDORSEMENT. RUSSELL SHERMAN EXPLAINS. SCRIPT: YOU WOULDN'T THINK A SITTING DEMOCRATIC VICE PRESIDENT WOULD HAVE TO DO MUCH TO WOO NEW YORK DEMOCRATS. BUT, AL GORE'S FACING AN INCREASINGLY TOUGH PRIMARY AGAINST BILL BRADLEY. RECENT POLLS SHOW THE CONTEST IS TIED IN NEW YORK. AND THURSDAY THE STATE'S MOST PROMINENT DEMOCRAT WILL THROW HIS WEIGHT BEHIND BRADLEY'S CAMPAIGN. (SOT) DAVID PATRICK MOYNIHAN AND BRADLEY ARE CLOSE FRIENDS FROM THEIR DAYS AS SENATE COLLEAGUES. IN RESPONSE TO THE ENDORSEMENT, THE GORE CAMPAIGN UNFURLED A LIST OF NEW GORE SUPPORTERS INCLUDING STATE COMPTROLLER CARL MCCALL, ATTORNEY GENERAL ELLIOT SPITZER, ASSEMBLY SPEAKER SHELDON SILVER, AND STATE SENATE MINORITY LEADER MARTIN CONNOR. (SOT) STILL, THE MOYNIHAN ENDORSEMENT IS A SHOT IN THE ARM FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY JUMPED ON THE BRADLEY BANDWAGON. (SOT) (REPORTER STANDUP) AND WHILE THE VICE PRESIDENT IS STILL THE FAVORITE, THE RECENT TURN OF EVENTS HAS RAISED SOME EYEBROWS. (SOT) PRIMARY DAY IN NEW YORK IS MARCH 7TH. IN MANHATTAN, RUSSELL SHERMAN, NEW YORK ONE. TAG: THE BRADLEY CAMP ALSO SAYS THEY ARE HOPEFUL OF GETTING THE SUPPORT OF THE STATE'S OTHER SENATOR, CHARLES SCHUMER.
