Not that I've heard. I bet many active net supporters of other candidates keep a weary eye on the Paul hive. This is a good place to get a pulse on the entire election .

So, what did he think about the plan?

But I don't know if he is giving interviews on TV or radio today. I suspect he is traveling to Florida and preparing for the debate tonight.

This is also on the press releases today:

(PressMediaWire) Washington, DC Jan. 23, 2008 - Congressman Ron Paul is an original cosponsor on legislation proposed by Representative Harry Mitchell (AZ-5) to block Members of Congress from receiving the automatic pay adjustment scheduled to take effect in 2009.

“With all the waste going on in government, the dollar losing its purchasing power, the collapse of the housing bubble, the economy is really struggling. We Members of Congress should not be padding our pocketbooks when our constituents are tightening their belts,” stated Congressman Paul.

The bill was introduced yesterday and so far Congressman Paul is the only cosponsor. Congressman Paul famously returns a portion of his congressional office budget to the Treasury. He recently estimated he would be able to return $75,000 from last year’s office budget. He also refuses to participate in the lucrative pension program that Congress has awarded itself.
