New York Times reports Tuesday morning DFL chairman Ken Martin announced his candidacy to lead the Democratic National Committee. “If Martin O’Malley, the former Maryland governor who entered the contest on Monday, has experience as a candidate for state and national office, Mr. Martin, 51, is a veteran behind-the-scenes operator. He enters the race with 83 endorsements from D.N.C. members, his campaign said, a daunting figure given that the field is not yet set.”
