Primary or convention?
It could mean the difference in which Republican heads up the ticket.

(( All things may now be equal between the Attorney General and the Lieutenant Governor... both Republican... both seeking the top job next year.
But how the GOP candidate for governor is nominated may make a difference.
Analysts think Mark Earley's supporters could sway a convention his way.
John Hager's lieutenant governor job is only part time-- meaning he might have the advantage of campaign time if there's a primary.

But he says Democrat Mark Warner does.
