Ditto. Good!

As the only grown-up he should stick to forums that require an IQ of over 90 to watch.

Good move.

I cannot imagine Mitt and Ann Romney having to sit on that couch and politely refrain from answering sarcastic, snide questions from the terminally brainless with anything more than a smile.

Good move, Governor.

If he were behind and needed to do everything possible in the way of hail Mary to try to sway some more votes, The View might make sense. Being ahead, its all risk and very little reward.

FTA.......There are some people who favor the obamas, because they have have been on the program separately and together.

Let me tell you something Babs..you and your flock of old hens are not king makers..I also think he might just be a little reluctant to go on a show with a confessed adulteress. that would be YOU! So get over your self..

and fire the staffer to booked it in the first place...we're looking for adult conversations and actions over the next 4 to 16 years...

Why, O Why must Mr Romney kiss the zircon rings of these termagant harpies?

...was disappointed to hear at one time that he was going to go on...glad to know that there is a "conflict" with the schedule...there is no upside to it...

Looks like Mitt has written off the brain-dead loudmouth harpy constituency.

Good move Mitt. Don't let the fleas on those ladies jump on to you.

If you aren't a snake, stay out of the snake pit. Otherwise, you will surely be bitten repeatedly.

Good move, Mitt.

Why should he go there anyway? It's like planning a picnic with the Harpies.

The best thing he has done is to stay away from these Obama groupies.

Ah, #6 .... but her partner in adultry was a black senator, so that made her a hero of sorts to a certain group of people. That he was married and that her involvement with him hurt a lot of innocent people was of no consequence to Barbara.
.... For you ladies who have wondered about Barbara's character, just think 'other woman.'

As for Mitt, I am delighted he can find no time to be tossed around by a bunch of vacant-minded hateful cats, with the exception of one 'lady.'

I've never watched the show and don't personally know anyone who has.

Why would he have ever have said yes to those types?

SMART SMART SMART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am glad the Romney campaign is finally getting some common sense.

Good for him. The Dems will mock him for this. That's fine. Everyone with half a brain knows that the View is a piranha tank and not very educated piranhas at that. He would have gained -zero- from this appearance.

What an outstanding gutsy move. I am so pleased.

Good decision! Appearing on The View would have been about as helpful to Governor Romney's Campaign as holding a joint press conference with Dingy Harry at the Moonlite Bunny Ranch outside Carson City, Nevada!

Why hang out with 4 witches and a lost conservative...only bad things can come from it.

Looks to me like Tagg may have talked Dad and Mom out of this commitment. We're reading that Tagg has been stepping up his influence at Boston HQ after Dad's terrible speech that he and Stuart Stevens wrote.

Must be that darn "war on women".

His supporters don't watch brain-rot TV. there would be no up side to going there. They are trying to make an appearance with them mandatory because the Obamas show up there. Stop the dumbing down of the American Presidency. it's not a joke, so don't play the fool with fools.

Whoopie Goldberg would have acted like the pig that she aspires to be. She cusses a lot and tries to shout down those with whom she disagrees.

There is no upside at all in going on that show. Romney will get more votes from cancelling his appearance than he would have gotten if he went on the show.

Bawbra sounds soooo sincere when she says she weally wanted Mitt Womney on her show.

Smart move. Why would anyone want to be on a program with these over paid knuckleheads is beyond me.

Good move, Mitt! Don't sink to the level of this two bit ......

Smart move, Mittens....

That was an ambush waiting to happen!

The program is too trivial and not worth the time to tape or to watch.

George W. Bush refused to meet with Yasir Arafat for the same reasons.

I never watch The View. Can't stand Behar, and Whoopie with her silly sox and shoes is just too uppity. Sheerie is as dumb as a stump and Bwabwa is phoney. Hassleback tries but doesn't cut it either. Frankly, The View is just a klatch of over botoxed, dumb bimbos and not worth my time.

To appear with that crazy bunch is to give legitimacy and dignity to a show that it does not deserve.
Stay above the snarks like that bunch.

With Romney having gained so much ground with women voters since debate 1, he is wise to avoid this snare. Doubtful any good could come from it and possible that much harm could, given the kind of intellect that hangs on every word from Babwa and Whoopi and the hosts mindless clinging to popular media memes with little regard for the truth.

Smart move. He had nothing to gain by appearing on this silly show and a lot to lose. Thank you to whoever talked him out of this pending nightmare.

Really appalling is the attempt at legitimization by what are basically lightweight talk shows and comedians looking to improve their ratings and media hype by embarrassing high level public figures and bringing them down to their level. Letterman, Leno, Kimmel, SNL, The View, Jon Stewart and the rest.

The Obamas are perfect stooges. At core they are celebrity wannabes who don't care how they get that celebrity.

Good!

those babes been stood up a lot ,that's why they're so bitter.

Glad Mitt Romney isn't going on that "show". Wouldn't want him to catch cooties from the harridan-crones by sitting on that rancid couch! Hope Ann Romney cancels too or at least brings a very large blanket to sit on. Ewww.

It would have been alot smarter not to book an appearance in the first place. The blogs are already filling with "If Mitt is afraid of Whoopi how is he going to face Al Queda?". He gave them this line of attack.

Good for Mitt. Who need those hags? Leave them to Barry to play with.

Gee, I don't know why he wouldn't want to go. I'm sure he would receive fair treatment from the group.

Yeah,right.

Thank heavens. It is nothing less than demeaning for our next President to even consider stepping down to dignify these awful women as though they matter. They're disgusting, repulsive and bent only on destroying anyone not in synch with their sick agenda. It is more than fitting that jug-ears and his double wide wife appear. They have all the disgraceful qualifications needed to fit right in. I'm only sorry that Ann Romney is appearing but can understand her wishing to stem the media backlash if they both canceled. Just the thought of sitting on that couch with those women...pew. I'd want a shower.

Good! The harpies (except Hasselbeck) would only attack him and Ann. Good choice!

Just shows how Presidential he is and how fine he will conduct himself after being elected.
Obama has made a Jacka** of himself parading around to talk shows and hip-hop radio programs, when there are serious matters to deal with.

I dunno...maybe he could have won over a few Honey Boo Boo votes. But I am sure that any other engagement scheduled would have been much more important.
