(( 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.

John Hager's lieutenant governor job is only part time-- meaning he might have the advantage of campaign time if there's a primary.
