I think she makes a great spokesperson for her political views. How well prepared does she have to be to argue with Rosie or Joy Behar?
It's not a show that is highly regaraded for it's political analysis. There's a decent size audience of mostly women who enjoy the format of four women with varying viewpoints discussing their opinions. In that format, Elisabeth does pretty well.
When she's applied herself in the past, she has performed well. From softball to Survivor I think she shows she is more than just some dumb blonde.
I don't know if she should be expected to be a spokesperson for conservatives or Republicans. Many conservatives/Republicans hold a view or two contrary to their groups popular standpoint. She makes a great spokesperson, but if I don't agree with her I don't agree with her.
I think the View should give her Rosies seat. She's got a shot at a nice career with her looks and personality. She could walk into a gig with Regis, GMA, Fox and Friends, her own show. I think when this girl applies herself, she does pretty darn well.
