I had a great night last night for three reasons:

1. I was endorsed for Lieutenant Governor by the 16th District Democratic Committee, one of the most active committees in the state. The 16th district covers the Southbridge area of Wilmington and much of New Castle stretching down Routes 9 and 13. This is a big one.

2. I had a chance to visit a meeting of members of the 15th District Democratic Committee down in Bear, under the leadership of its dynamic new chairman Mike Taylor. Not only was it a great group of people—some of them long-time residents like Bill McCloskey who helped get me elected in 2004, others brand new to Delaware—but Mrs. Taylor made a great spread of food that substituted for my dinner.

3. Between the time that I got home at 10:00 and 5:00 a.m. this morning, no children were awake. I love my children, but I love them even more when they sleep past 4 a.m.
