So I don't watch Dancing with the Stars, but does anybody else think that the fact that Bristol Palin is in the finals is because tea partiers are

flooding the voting? From all accounts I've heard and read, she should have been eliminated at least 6 weeks ago and yet she's survived over people clearly better than her. How much does it hurt the show overall if she actually wins?

Why would tea partiers stop supporting the unqualified *now?* nm - Dignan Nov 17, 12:42 3
- I think my favorite line from the Tina Fey Mark Twain awards (which was great BTW if you haven't seen it) was from Seth Meyers who described her Palin - pmb Nov 17, 12:45 2
  - Yeah, that's gold. nm - Dignan Nov 17, 12:54
  - Nice. -- nm - mara Nov 17, 12:53
Any show with audience voting is essentially a popularity contest -- nm - oblique Nov 17, 12:42 3

  - i'm shocked you have any scales left to fall! -- nm - cameo Nov 17, 12:49
Hurt the show? I'm not sure anything *can* hurt a show called "Dancing with the Stars" where one of the "stars" is Bristol Palin. -- nm - mara Nov 17, 12:42 15
- Somebody is laughing at this joke all the way to the bank -- nm - con_carne Nov 17, 12:54 1
  - I'm just saying I don't see how it would hurt the show. -- nm - mara Nov 17, 12:56
- or the Situation, or Audrina... - Stephen Nov 17, 12:52 2
  - Who both had extremely popular television shows. nm - Dignan Nov 17, 12:53 1
    - You don't have to remind me that America is dumb. -- nm - Stephen Nov 17, 13:00
- Some people really watch it for the dancing. -- nm - pmb Nov 17, 12:43

  - Teen pregnancy was literally the best thing that ever happened to her. I wonder if she mentions that in her abstinence speeches. nm - Dignan Nov 17, 12:51 7
    - How she became a spokesperson for abstinence and safer sex when she obviously practiced neither, I'll never know. And now she's on TV for it. - Diva Nov 17, 12:54 6
      - You mean the way the Left shuns Bristol like a whore? - Stephen Nov 17, 13:02 1
        
        I don't necessarily fault her for taking advantage of the opportunities presented her. I just don't see why being irresponsible has garnered her - Diva Nov 17, 13:18
      - next thing you know, a Governor from Alaska who spent her whole career sucking the federal tit will want to run for president as an anti-government - cameo Nov 17, 12:58
      - The same fucked up psychology that had people believing John Kerry was a war criminal, or that intellectualism is a bad word. nm - Dignan Nov 17, 12:57

      - word to the IM - and from a young mother's perspective - Epiphany Nov 17, 12:56
Sure, but how is it any worse than any other block of people voting for who they want to keep around? - Stephen Nov 17, 12:42

definitely. Serves DWTS right for having her on in the first place -- nm - Beaker Nov 17, 12:41
this is the generally accepted wisdom, yes -- nm - cameo Nov 17, 12:40
Unquestionably. To the point I'm surprised DwtS hasn't issued some executive oversight on the results. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 17, 12:40 2
- I'm actually surprised they don't use producers discretion (which is always in the rules) to eliminate her. But she must be getting a ton of tea - pmb Nov 17, 12:43 1
  - hollywood bad! wait . . . -- nm - cameo Nov 17, 12:44
