Author & Former VP Candidate Sarah Palin for ABC's THE VIEW?

As BWW recently reported, ABC's The View has experienced a major shake-up involving hosts Jenny McCarthy and Sherri Shepherd, both of whom will be leaving the long-running morning talk show.

Since the news was announced, a flurry of speculation has began as to who will take over the now vacant hosting chairs. Everyone from Broadway's Idina Menzel, Bernadette Peters, Rosie O'Donnell and Mario Cantone are rumored to be in the running.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, author and former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin even threw her name in the ring, commenting, "I hear everyone recently got canned from The View, maybe a show like that needs a punch of reality and a voice of reason from America's heartland to knock some humble sense into their scripts. You know, someone willing to go rogue."
