...that we shouldn't be contesting every seat in every state?

I read waaaaaayyyy too many posts or responses on here last week saying that Romney was the best we could hope for in Utah and some variation of defeatism. And that's not the first race/state/etc. that I've seen that kind of talk.

I'm not saying we'd be able to defeat Romney in Utah, but you know the only thing that guarantees that we won't defeat him? Not running a candidate and not spending money on that candidate.
