It wouldn't work politicus.  We already have a degree of decoupling between the state and national parties that has allowed for state politics to be more competitive in some states than they would be in national politics. But as soon as someone ran for Congress they'd be stuck with national politics.

I think to have any hope of subnational parties arising in the United States, we'd need to have to end the government-funded primary races in this country.  That would provide the impetus for parties to fracture at the state level where they are safe at the national level so that what would in the US be two wings of the same party seeking to win the primary races, would instead be two parties seeking to win the general election.
