Resources are always limited. The correct strategy is to practice a kind of triage: lower priority to those who need little help and those who are beyond help, higher priority to those where additional help has the greatest positive effect (i.e., the swing states).

Which category WI falls in is not entirely clear, but I suspect it is indeed in play.

Resources and triage are always considerations, but contesting those states improves our chances of taking extra House/Senate seats as well. It’s worth trying and doesn’t take much more in terms of resources, since Obama would also be spreading his resources over more territory.
