Cranking It Up In N.H.

On Thursday night, presidential hopeful Bill Bradley was playing a game he knows well: basketball.

Bradley was playing with two girls' teams in Portsmouth. And he still had the old touch, CBS News correspondent Phil Jones reports.

And at a local brewery, Bradley passed up a drink, even after a strenuous day on the campaign trail.
