Insider: Sarah Palin 'Obsessed' With Making Bristol a 'Dancing' Champ

By Rob Shuter Posted Nov 11th 2010 09:01AM

Amazingly, Bristol Palin has hoofed her way through another week on ABC's monster hit 'Dancing With the Stars,' and it's not because of her less-than-stellar footwork, it's thanks to her famous mom's campaigning.

"Sarah is determined make Bristol the winner of the show. Whatever it takes," an insider tells me. "She's become obsessed with it, as if it were the election all over again, except this time a Palin will be the winner."

The former governor's determination is no secret and has caught the attention of many politically-minded sites, including The Daily Beast, which wondered this week if a vast right-wing conspiracy is underway to make sure Bristol stays put. The site points out that conservative activist and Palin supporter Tammy Bruce tweeted, "Operation Bristol waltzes in tonight! As #DWTS starts vote at abc.go.com Tweeps pls tweet phone info, will RT."

There's nothing like firing up Sarah's loyal fan base to keep her daughter dancing!

"Sarah is making it very clear that she wants Bristol to win," a show insider tells me, adding that Palin is tickled by the idea of taking votes away from the more "Hollywood liberal types" on the show.

"This is her chance to get even and show all those Democrats that a regular girl with conservative values and common sense" can win it all.

Just a few days ago, Sarah reminded her 295,942 Twitter followers what a great girl Bristol is. "From youth football team, shop class & commercial fishing to Final 5 on Dancing W T Stars, we're proud of Bristol's courage, grace & diversity!"

If this pro-Bristol campaign wins out, America just may see the mirror ball trophy in the White House someday!

Good way for Palin to ruin this shows future with her clumsy nondancing daughter ever winning

By themeeker

And if she wins, then what? Nothing. They aimed as low as possible for this no talent boob and they are proud? Idiots.

Sarah Palin and that show are both an effing joke...

By Dotty

I so agree. This is a show for entertainment, not a political event. The voting should definitely NOT be half of the viewing audience. After this season, I'm not so sure that the judge's views are much better. They are giving Bristol far better scores than anyone else that has danced so poorly, along with giving her the same scores as some present dancers that are much, much better than her. And the story mentions her grace...get real, the only grace that I can say is, "With the Grace of God....get her off the show"!!!! Had it not been for other dancers that I really liked, I would have definitely quit watching this season, though I love the show. I hate to miss some good dancing just because of someone really BAD.

Why can't you see that this young girl has talent, she is doing great and her mother has nothing to do with her dancing

By Coleen

Patricia - Bristol is not where she is because of her dancing skills. It is all about her mom. I give Bristol a lot of credit because she is trying, but she should not be in the final four.

By Anne

If Bristol pulls it off it just shows that lame people vote for their buddies and not for the talent. Might be why I decided not to watch after the Kate (plus 8) idiot last year. THen Palins brat? No thanks.

By Jack

rather than suggest the motive, why don't you ask who the insider is. I can say anything, but unless I can back it up, it means nothing. Don't be so gullible as to think just because someonce says something, it must be true.

Aren't you the jealous one! HA!

By Michelle

I agree I have watched every show and it kills me this year to see people that "dont forget the steps" do better and better and they go home. this is a popularity contest this season and it is awful.She should been off 2-3 weeks ago !!!

By Turtle

Well, if we need to turn this place into a forum for political discussion, then I will say:

Sarrah Palin is a moron and Bristol is a chubby skaaank.

Now, back to the movies.

How miserable would it be to have a mother like Sarah Palin? She doesn't even think enough of her own daughter to let her succeed or fail on her own. Probably why she got pregnant so young - to rebel against mommy. Sarah Palin needs to go away. I sure hope that she isn't the Republican candidate in 2012.

By JOE MILES

I am so fed up with Sarah and her B.S. It is a well known fact that Sarah had Dancing agree that Bristol would be there for atleast 3 weeks. How can that be done??? There are some good dancers voted off and Club Footed Bristol is still there. Dancing is as crooked as everything else Sarah is involved with. I for one will never watch dancing with the stars again!!!!

By Jeremy

What you're saying is not true. You've made it up. And people who actually watch the show (and bother to read your post) know you made it up. If the best you can do is lie, then try to lie with some credibility.

Just the fact's mame, just the facts. Where did you get these facts?
