Romney to appear on 'The View'

BOSTON - The women of "The View" are getting a double dose of Massachusetts Republicans next month.

Former and possibly future presidential candidate Mitt Romney will appear on the ABC morning talk show Feb. 1. That's the paperback release date for his book, "No Apology: The Case for American Greatness."

Meanwhile, Sen. Scott Brown will appear Feb. 21 to coincide with the release of his memoirs, "Against All Odds."

Romney served as Massachusetts governor before running for president in 2008. Aides say he will make a decision about a second campaign later this year.

Brown was a state legislator before overcoming the state's Democratic history last January and winning the Senate seat held for nearly a half-century by liberal icon Edward Kennedy.

Romney and Brown share some of the same political and media advisers.
