Cindy McCain Will Sit at "The View" table

Cindy McCain is joining the ladies on ''The View'' — at least for a day.

Republican candidate John McCain's wife will be a co-host on the ABC daytime chat show next Monday. She'll give conservative host Elisabeth Hasselbeck a rare ally in the show's political conversations.

McCain's husband has been on ''The View'' four times, most recently last week.

There's no word on whether she'll be bringing any recipes to share. Her husband's campaign had a mild embarrassment this week when an intern posted recipes on its Web site lifted from the Food Network and Rachel Ray and falsely passed them off as Cindy McCain's.
