Gingrich will never attract the college-educated crowd. It was under his Congress that the most educated areas such as NJ, Eastern PA, Long Island and South FL moved sharply toward the Dems. Check out the 1996 trend map and you'll see.
The Ohio strategy will work best nationally and in Virginia. I dont think there's much resistance among even upper-middle class voters to bringing millionaires tax rates back to the Clinton era or a tad higher.
Wonkish can't possibly think Gingrich will play well in Montgomery County Pa, In Jefferson County CO, In Loudoun County, Va.
Surely he can't be that naive.
