The Hill reports that the NRCC is mak­ing Repub­li­can rep­re­sen­ta­tives kick in more mon­ey than last year. But Kansas’ Jim Ryun won’t make his target:

“I’ve got a race back home I’ve got to fin­ish,” said Rep. Jim Ryun (R‑Kan.), who won in 2004 with 56 per­cent of the vote.

Ryun admit­ted he has not giv­en as much as he would like to the program.

“You do the best you can: if you make it, great, if you don’t maybe it was a lit­tle high but you do the best you can,” he said.

For some­one who claims that there’s no com­pe­ti­tion, he sure acts scared. And it shows the weak­ness of the NRCC, too. They are try­ing to raise the same amount of mon­ey, but are so sure their mem­bers will stiff them, they are just rais­ing their demands on the rest.
