If Gingrich is the nominee, Democrats should focus 100% on the House and Senate

Besides his big political baggage, Gingrich has no discipline and is, quite frankly, an unlikable asshole who will have zero appeal outside of the base.  Back during his heyday he was always running off at the mouth with stupid statements which got him in trouble and his recent comments about child labor and the work habits of poor children show things haven't changed.  Eventually he will self-destruct, it is only a question of when.

While Gingrich and Bill Clinton are similar in their womanizing and lack of self-discipline, the comparison makes little sense otherwise.  When Clinton ran in 1992, he had been a sitting governor for a decade; Gingrich has been out of office for over a decade.  Clinton did not hypocritically present himself as a socially conservative candidate.  Finally, Clinton rivaled Ronald Reagan in his people skills. There is a reason why he was considered one of the most skilled politicians of his generation.  Bill has more charisma in his pinky finger than Gingrich has in his whole body.

Watch this Presidential town hall debate question from 1992. Bush I gives a defensive, totally tone-deaf answer to the question.  Then watch Bill Clinton afterward.
