No, Abbott is the current AG and is on the ballot for governor. Dewhurst got beat by Abbott in the Rep. primary.

Dewhurst wasn't running for Governor. He was running for re-election as Lt. Governor. He lost, and there was a run-off, and RINO Dewhurst wasn't even in the runoff. Dan Patrick won the runoff for Lt. Governor.

Abbott won the Republican Governor nomination quite handily.
