This Is Why Bristol Is Still On DWTS

As is apparent to anybody who's seen her dancing, for which she's gotten the lowest scores from the judges on occasion, Bristol Palin remains on Dancing With The Stars thanks to the enormous GOTV effort that the teabaggers are running on Twitter. Even the show's producer admits as much.

The Tea Party wave that swept Republicans to a U.S. House majority may also be shielding Bristol Palin from elimination on ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars.” “There’s a strong popular movement behind Sarah Palin at the moment and she’s receiving a lot of support from the Tea Party,” Conrad Green, executive producer of the program, said in an interview. “It’s entirely possible some of those people are behind Bristol for political reasons.”

The homocons are in on it too, with GOProud supporters tweeting Bristol's voting number and Hillbuzz blogging last night: "Don’t forget to vote for Bristol Palin on Dancing with the Stars tonight! Remember to vote for her as much as possible during the show…and then vote for her the maximum number of times online at www.ABC.com!"
