IS IT TOO LATE FOR MARTIN O’MALLEY TO JUMP IN? Elijah Cummings Won’t Run for Senate in Maryland.

Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, the Maryland Democrat who had been considering a campaign for his state’s open seat in the Senate, said Tuesday he has decided to run instead for a 12th term in Congress.

His public statement came after months of speculation that the Baltimore resident would join Reps. Donna Edwards and Chris Van Hollen in the race for retiring Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski’s seat, a race in which polling suggested he would enter as the front-runner.

I mean, Martin needs something to do, and I think he has until tonight to file.
