I find this post at Political Wire that states that Gingrich has a new strategy for a GOP comeback by promoting conservadems wherever a Republican can't win:
The Gingrich comeback strategy "includes building a center-right majority in Congress and the state legislatures -- regardless of party identification -- even if that means the heretical idea of Republicans actively promoting and backing conservative Democratic candidates in selected races where a GOP candidate would have little chance of winning."
Said the former House Speaker: "I would urge conservatives in California to find a Democrat to run in every Assembly and Senate seat in California that can't be contested by Republicans, and then to run a Republican in every seat they could possibly win, and then have an overt goal of creating a bipartisan conservative coalition. I'd do the same thing nationally."
There is something insidious about this plan. Gingrich realizes that the GOP brand is toxic so he comes up with this trojan horse plan where Republicans run as Democrats to purposely destroy the Democratic party. Basically it's a divide and conquer strategy that leads to infighting within the Democratic party. Moreover, progressive legislation gets killed. Now the Democratic party is already divided as it is and we have the blue dogs to contend with, but imagine this Gingrich scenario, which would be 10x worse. Moreover, when it comes to racial matters the blue dogs are on the right side. This is not really true with Republicans. So the implications are really awful. I do believe this can plan can succeed.
Sorry for the short diary but gotta run
