I got this from
RFFM.org, and I trust his "picks" (however I personally knew nothing about this particular candidate before reading the following):
LT. GOVERNOR
Some of you may think the office of Lt. Governor is not important. However, if you look back in recent Illinois history, many Lt. Governors became Governor due to the "problems" which faced individuals like Rod Blagojevich, George Ryan, Dan Walker, etc. RFFM.org endorses Don Tracy for the GOP nomination for Lt. Governor. Tracy has over 30 years of experience helping to run a successful family business which employs over 3,500 people. A central Illinois resident, Tracy is also a lawyer who believes in the rights of the innocent unborn, traditional marriage and the Second Amendment.

In Texas, the Lt. Guv has more real power than the Guv.
