Watching The View

IToday on The View, it was a “special edition” because it featured three comedians as guests. Joy was absent again because she will be on The Tonight Show tonight.

A high turnout of minority voters may have lead to more socially conservative issues to pass like Proposition 8 in California which bans gay marriage. Barbara Walters said that church groups supported it because they did not want to get sued if they refused to perform gay marriage ceremonies and did not want gay marriage taught in schools. Whoopi Goldberg said that marriage is not taught in schools, why would they teach gay marriage? Barbara said that it could discussed or in the curriculum. Elisabeth said that a priest in Sweden was arrested for refusing to perform a gay ceremony. Elisabeth said that supporters are saying that it is good that the victory came from the people rather than the court. Whoopi said that she has always said that if you don’t support gay marriage, don’t marry a gay person. Whoopi said that most gay people would not want to go get married in a church that would not support them.

My television cut out when Sherri was explaining her position. Anyone who saw it, could you fill us in with what she said in the comment section? When the TV came back on, they were at the first commercial break.

Today’s episode of The View is a re-run as the show continues its hiatus. Today’s episode is the one that featured potential first lady Michelle Obama as co-host. You can see my original recap of the Michelle Obama episode here or you can watch video of her apperance here.

Before I get to today’s Watching the View hot topic question, please feel free to email me with any ideas for hot topics by clicking here or clicking on the “contact me” link in the sidebar.

The current “Watching the View poll” question, which you can see here, is similar: “What hot topic would you like to see covered on The View?” You can also see answers to the previous poll question there. I am trying to figure out a way to make the poll questions more easily reachable, but for now there is also a link in the sidebar called “Watching the View polls,” which you can find down the page a bit near the “Rock the Vote” icon.

If anyone has any suggestions of an easier way to conduct the polls, I am open to ideas. Keep in mind that I am limited somewhat in the control I have over the design of the blog, which makes it difficult to implement any elaborate changes.

Today’s Watching the View hot topic question:

Who would you like to see as the running mate for your presidential candidate of choice?

Please give your answer to the question below in the comments and feel free to list more than one person if you are undecided or even just traits that you think would be important in a running mate.

Thanks for those who participated in the last Watching the View Poll (What one thing would you change about The View).

You can read the results at the Watching the View Poll results page.
To answer the new poll question, visit the Watching the View Poll page.

You can also get to the Watching the View Polls page at anytime from the link in the sidebar to see the current question or read previous answers. I don’t know why the link is so strange looking, I will try to fix it.
