jon: yeah. mitt romney has the endorsement of the former governor in new hampshire, john senunu, he's also got the current senator, kelly ayotte. how much will that help him when it comes to the new hampshire voters? >> well nobody knows new hampshire politics the way john senunu does and probably no one has a better network than his extended family in new hampshire, so i think that is a big plus for him, maybe bigger actually than john mccain's endorsement. what he's mainly got is tons of money, good organization. he's been campaigning there for five years, and that's why he's in the 40s, and everybody else is in single digits or the teens. so the expectations game for romney is, he has to win big. his major opponent is the expectations game. it isn't any of the people running against him. jon: and he's already pivoting to the general election or though it would seem. larry sabato from the university of virginia center for politics. larry, thank you. >> thanks, jon. jenna: a few big things coming up now. are we going to go to break or kodak? okay. james rosen on a big story for us today, this is about kodak, a pioneer
