Could a Jowers-Romney Ticket Win?

A Kirk Jowers/Josh Romney ticket would make the 2010 gubernatorial election very interesting. But could that ticket win? I seriously doubt it.  Jowers and Romney are too young, too inexperienced and haven't paid their dues working at the Republican Party's grassroots levels.

Utah's caucus/convention nominating process gives any aspiring politician a chance who works really hard at the grassroots level and wins support of delegates, local elected officials, and opinion leaders. Utah's system demands that candidates work from the bottom up, not from the top down. It requires extra work for someone who is an outsider and hasn't been visible among the party regulars.
