Last night was the Hadassah debate at the Jewish Community Center, which has always been the official kick-off of the general election campaign.  It was the first time I have participated in a debate alongside Jack Markell as our candidate for Governor.  Other than Jack giving his parents a shout-out, which of course required me alter my remarks to give my mom a shout-out if I didn’t want to be written out of her will, it went great—dozens of people took lawn signs home with them, and we even recruited a few new volunteers.

It also appears that the great volunteers from my campaign have been training for the last two days at the Markell Academy for Overcaffeinated Young People—when I turned off Concord Pike to get to the debate, there was a cabal of Markell and Denn volunteers standing on the street corner yelling our names and waving signs in the air.  All kidding aside, one of the reasons that we are going to win this campaign is the incredibly committed volunteers who are helping us—so thanks to everyone who has donated their valuable time to our cause.  You won’t be disappointed.
