Why Lt. Gov Matters

I realize the the post itself is useless, and the job is a meaningless waste of tax money.  but I’m going to play Nate Silver for a second and use statistics to tell you why winning the Lt. Governor’s race matters.  Three out of the past six Lt. Governors went on to be Governor.  [Matt Denn is going to be Governor, so that is really 4 out of 6.]  That means there is a 66% chance that BHL, Ciro, Park City, or the one of the others will eventually be governor.
