Italic type indicates incumbent. Prior to 1958, the lieutenant governor's term was only two years. Starting with the 1978 election the governor and lieutenant governor are chosen as a joint ticket. Previous to that, the lieutenant governor was elected separately. (Vote totals in parentheses indicate votes for a combined governor/lieutenant governor ticket.)

Democratic candidates actively sought out Rep. James Clyburn during primary season, hoping his endorsement would equate to Southern and African-American support for their campaigns.
His father James ran for governor and later became a federal judge while his mother Ruth was the fourth member of her family elected to the state assembly, and both were founding members of Wisconsin's modern Democratic party.
As governor of Kansas and daughter of a former Ohiogovernor, Kathleen Sebelius has key political capital in two swing states in the 2004 general election.
