With all those crazy liberals she works with, The View’s resident conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck can’t get a word in edgewise on her own talk show.
Fortunately for her, that won’t be an issue this weekend as she will be on hand to introduce Alaska Governor Sarah Palin at campaign rallies in Florida.
“I am more than honored to be there, so I will be flying there to travel with her and meet some pretty interesting people,” she said today on The View.
“That’s an honor, I’m excited to do it, and I’ll have some stories I’m sure on Monday,” added Hasselbeck, who was mercifully not maimed by her co-hosts.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Sarah Palin will share the campaign stage.
According to ABC News, bringing Elisabeth on board comes as the John McCain-Sarah Palin campaign attempts to boost its support among female voters.
Hasselbeck wore a John McCain T-shirt on Tuesday’s program, butting heads with liberal co-host Joy Behar as a result and continuing the feud Wednesday.

Raffaello Follieri, who pleaded guilty to 14 counts of wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy, was sentenced Thursday to 4.5 years in prison.
The Italian-born real estate-business magnate, 30, was arrested in June.
He was accused of lying to investors by claiming to be the CFO of the Vatican and using swindled funds for a trip to the Dominican Republic over New Year’s 2005-2006 with his “then girlfriend” (Anne Hathaway) and another couple.
Raffaello Follieri used the funds for rent ($37,000 / month), medical bills for himself and his “then girlfriend,” orthodontist bills for his dad, etc.
His attorney, Flora Edwards, has said her client had good intentions when he started a business to buy property from the Catholic church but that he soon “became intoxicated with it all” when he began moving in A-list circles.
Anne Hathaway and Raffaello Follieri dated for four years but split in June just before his arrest. He conceivably could have faced up to 265 years in prison, but agreed not to appeal a sentence less than 63 months in the big house.
The con man’s plea agreement included a stipulation that he forfeit $2.44 million (the amount representing what he obtained via illegal activity). He also agreed to forfeit 12 wristwatches and nine pieces of fine jewelry. Ouch.

Shayne Lamas who?
Former star of The Bachelor Matt Grant has not given up on love since his split with his airhead reality TV fling. The British hunk is head over heels in love again — this time for his British-born public relations representative, Sarah Robarts.
Matt Grant, 28, says his business relationship with Sarah Robarts, 39 and a single mother of two, eventually evolved into a serious emotional bond.
“It’s the best relationship I have ever been in,” Grant said. “I’m completely in love. She’s extremely beautiful inside and out. She’s one in a million.”
Matt Grant has ditched Shayne Lamas for his rep, Sarah Robarts.
Sure, he said these things about Shayne Lamas too, but everyone figured he was going to dump that annoying ditz in a matter of weeks. And he did.
When the two first met following Matt Grant’s starring role (and engagement to Lamas) on The Bachelor, it was all business.
But even then, he says, “I couldn’t help but think, ‘Man she’s hot.’”
The fianancier’s rocky relationship with Lamas ended in July. Months later, Grant and Sarah Robarts went out for drinks that turned into a date.
“We connected on every level,” he says. “If she were on The Bachelor, there would not have been a competition. It would’ve been the shortest season ever.”
Oh, snap, Shayne!
And the couple’s 11-year age difference “is not an issue,” he says. “Sarah is very much on my level. The only thing is I’ve had to bring my game up since the Bachelor. She’s way too intelligent for some of the talk I used on the show.”
Oh, snap again, Shayne!
The two aren’t rushing things, Matt says: “I’m trying to play it cool, but I feel blessed. We have a wonderful relationship and I hope we continue forever.”
“It’s just so ironic that I came all the way over from England to find love on The Bachelor in America. And in the end, I fall in love with a Brit.”
