Does anyone know why "The View" had a special show today instead of a debate wrap-up?

I have been searching the Internet for possible info on this. After yesterday's catfight, I wouldn't be surprised if some of them didn't come in or had another tiff in the greenroom. They would never have a special show on the day after the debate and they usually have taped shows on Fridays.

1. They probably decided...

That a special was the best idea, since Elizabeth is on the verge of snapping out. ;-)

2. I was sooo disappointed! I wanted to see her post-debate

3. They talked about the debate

but only for a few minutes at the beginning.

Basically, they all said it was "boring."

Elizabeth tried to make it a big deal that Obama talked after the red light came on and Whoopi shot back that they both did that.

Then Elizabitch said something to the effect, "Oh Whoopi, are you going to change your vote now because McCain adopted your plan on buying up bad mortgages."

It was all pretty sterile and lame but at least Elizabitch didn't get one second to spew her hate filled speech.

4. Thanks for letting me know...I came in about 10 minutes after the show started

I figured it was a taped show.

6. I started watching "The View" when Rosie came on and I became hooked

When she and Lizzie had their catfight, I stayed on because it was so uncomfortable. And now that Whoopi's there and they talk politics every morning, it interests me to see them go at it.

7. Because a lot of low information voters watch it.

And because they are discussing the election and it's interesting to hear what is said because millions of women watch it everyday.

I don't think anyone on DU that watches it or comments on it thinks is is the be-all-end-all, but we talk about what Rush and Hannity and FAUX news says, and I think that's why Elizabitch Hasselbitch can rile some people up.

Also, I've been slow picking up on internet acronyms. What does ASDF mean? Thanks.

8. nothing, just habit. A lot of forums won't let you post anything with

blank text. ASDF are the "home keys" for your left hand in touch typing.

9. Because they killed Elizabeth, then panicked and ran. (n/t)
