Tokenism, especially in states where the candidate for governor gets to pick the Lt Gov candidate.  Iowa and New Jersey are great examples.  Both of George Pitaki's Lt Govs were female (by design, not by chance!).

I don't think there has yet been an instance where both the Gov and Lt Gov were females.
