How Can This Not Rock?

Political Radar has the scoop, and the news is fantastic: Rep. Ron Paul will appear on The View. The Texas Congressman will join three of the usual hosts and actress Kate Walsh tomorrow.

Paul had a good appearance on The Tonight Show earlier this year, and like the late-night circuit, The View is a good place to reach a lot of key voters. Hillary Clinton appeared on the show earlier this year, though planned appearances by John and Elizabeth Edwards and Michelle Obama were canceled in solidarity with striking writers.

How will staunch Republican Elizabeth Hasselbeck respond to Paul's anti-war rhetoric? Unfortunately, we won't get to find out: Walsh is guest-hosting for the absent Hasselbeck.
