'The View' Couch Not So Cozy for McCain
Senator John McCain bounded onto the set of "The View" this morning, perhaps expecting a fun session chatting with the ladies about the softer side of his presidential campaign.
But once he settled onto the couch, he got a pretty good grilling -- on earmarks, on his erstwhile image as a "maverick" and, of course, about his running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin. He also defended his ads against Senator Barack Obama, saying "they are not lies," and his wife, Cindy, who appeared later, declined to answer a question about how many houses the McCains own.
Mr. McCain also had some kind words for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, who may have been the first choice for president among many viewers of "The View." The show is watched by 3.4 million people, according to Nielsen, 78 percent of whom are women and whose median age is 56 years old.
Respond: Did you see McCain on "The View?"
