At this morning's House Republican Conference meeting, party leaders will unveil a new campaign fundraising and infrastructure program designed to strengthen vulnerable incumbents and hold Members more accountable if they expect any help from the National Republican Congressional Committee in 2010. ...
The primary component of the new program will focus on 30 to 50 targeted GOP incumbents who could find themselves with a serious challenge on their hands in 2010. Those "patriots" are the ones who will likely be leaning on the NRCC the most this cycle.
In that sense, the Patriot program is similar to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's "Frontline" program, which directs fundraising and other resources to vulnerable Members and has existed since the 2004 cycle. The DCCC released its list of 40 Frontline Members for 2010 on Monday. ...
[T]he Patriot program will immediately help targeted Members most likely to need NRCC support this cycle.... (Emphasis added.)
