The field of potential candidates for Democratic National Committee chairman shrank by two yesterday when former White House deputy chief of staff Harold Ickes and former Dallas mayor Ron Kirk announced they had decided not to enter the competition.
Kirk, the 2002 Democratic candidate for Senate in Texas, gave a boost to former House member and fellow Texan Martin Frost by endorsing his candidacy, while Ickes, a veteran party strategist, said he would defer supporting another candidate.
The decisions did only a little to clarify a contest that party leaders say remains wide open, with several Democrats energetically competing to succeed Terence R. McAuliffe and several others still trying to decide whether to run.
The battle for party chairman has taken on significance as an early indicator of the direction Democrats will take in the aftermath of John F. Kerry's loss to President Bush and the GOP's strengthened majorities in the House and Senate. The next party chairman will play an influential role, along with congressional leaders and governors, in determining where and when Democrats choose to confront Bush over the next two years and in organizing for the 2006 and 2008 elections.

Frost certainly qualifies!
