kelly and fox news. i've tried for one year with john and others to resolve an unbelievable set of actions john initiated and perpetuated bringing great destruction to me and my family." doug hampton attached to the e-mail to rick santorum a letter he had sent to fox news to a host named megyn kelly at fox news. the letter explained senator ensign's affair. his pursuit of doug's wife, his affair with doug's wife, and it explained how senator ensign subsequently fired both doug and his wife. so all that is explained in this letter. and that letter is sent to rick santorum. rick santorum is now of course a front running republican presidential contender. then he was a fox news personality. what did rick santorum, self-proclaimed family values guy, what did rick santorum do with that information about a serving senator in a sex and ethics scandal after he was tipped off to that scandal? what did he do about it? oh. he tipped off john ensign. he tipped off his friend who had the sex scandal to let him know that he was about to be exposed. this exhaustive and damning report by the senate ethics committee into

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
