Delaware has a new Governor

Today I witnessed the Inauguration of Delaware's 73rd Governor, Jack Markell. Although I have only lived in Delaware since 2000, I have gotten to know Governor Markell and his family quite well. My husband Bill and I supported him when he ran for State Treasurer for a second and third term. When he announced that he would run for Governor, we were very excited. He ran against the incumbent Lt. Governor in a Democratic Primary and won. In the general election, he beat the Republican candidate by a comfortable margin. Sound familiar? None of the party regulars thought it possible that Jack Markell could win; it wasn't his turn! Sound familiar?
