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!

Perish the thought that there will ever be a Palin in the White House except perhaps on a tour! It is ridiculous that people who could actually learn a dance and perform it with some grace are gone and Miss Palin still stomps away, just goes to show you we are not voting on the dancing!

Guess you were on a different planet after the results of the mid-term elections came in. Over a hundred Democrats will be taking tours of the White House since they lost their jobs. Nancy's getting a smaller gavel and a much smaller office. Lost her plane and motor coach too. Sarah is doing much better.

If Bristol wins then we all lose. She is by far the worst dancer to ever make it this far and I think if she wins the show should be canceled. She should have been voted off weeks ago.

You must not have watched the season where Marie Osmond made it to the final three. I like her, but she couldn't dance any better than Bristol.

By Geri

We could not agree more... "Blister" Palin has no talent whatsoever. She should have been voted off in the first round. She needs to go for the integrity of the show. We are not Palin supporters and we are tired of seeing Sara Palin grace us with her presence on so many DWTS episodes (since her daughter has been on). If this is what happens, by allowing viewers to vote, then maybe it is time for a "change" in that procedure. If she ends up winning, we will never watch this show again.

By Rick

You are so right Peggy. its not right for a good dancer to lose to a poor dancers.
Truthfully I think the network should step in and take the vote away from the people and let the Pro's handel it.

It's not unusual for the Radical Leftist Democrats to spew this much hatred. It's what they do!

By themeeker

You are an idiot.

By vobox3343

You mean spew truth, don't you? Tell me, your eyes don't see what ours do?

By susan

C'mon..Do you actually think that she is a good dancer and deserved to go as far as she did on this show? Truthfully, all politics aside..

That's because they have nothing to be happy about. Always attacking the person, rather than explaining failed Obama Policies.

Jack, are you for real? The neocons don't do that too? If you don't think so, you're insane.

By Patricia

Is it my imagination, or does Bristol (and someone should arrest Sarah Palin for child abuse for the godawful names she's cursed her children with) actually seem to be gaining weight through this show? How is that even physically possible?

By nellie

Please let Bristol go home gracefully Sarah,this is her life and you can't live it for her. You need to stop using her for your benifit.

By Paris

I agree, I am no fan of the Palin's but I feel for Bristol. She HAS to know she is a poor dancer and if she wins will always hear that she won because her mother's made it happen not because of her own talent.

By metrorun3

Are all of you serious, SP has no control on BP. What a bunch a freakin fools you all are. If SP were a Democ you all would not be speaking like this. What are you all afraid she just might run for President. Americans, what fools some of you are.

By gramps

we can only hope she runs in 2012 that will make it a sure bet for dems to win. her voice is so annoying can you imagine her talking to heads of state, she couldnt even finish the govs job , how about the way she uses trig for a prop, shes pretty low

Do I sense some serious "Palin Envy"?

By Sue

Envious of Palin what? clumsiness? As for her mom..Ignorance? stupidity? Greed? Ego stroking?

By xiomara Gonzalez

No envy here...You are an idiot why don't you make a public fool of yourself like her and make some money...Get a life
