If they have to resign to run, some will use that as a way to install Derps in governorships. A guy runs, and is elected, and then uses the cover of running to install someone the people did not elect as governor... with no consequences.
It would only be fair if voters are savvy enough to thoroughly vet their lt. governors and see the role as critically important.
Excellent point.
There are always unintended consequences.
