'Dancing With The Stars' Wants Todd Palin: Report

Bristol Palin's long run on 'Dancing With the Stars' was so good for ratings the show's producers are already courting her dad Todd for next season, E! Online reports.

"They want him big time," a source told E! "They'd love Sarah, but they don't think that will ever happen, so why not go for the dad."

The source said that producers think Todd, like Bristol, would be "ratings gold" and they also want Meghan McCain and Elliot Spitzer.

In October, Sarah Palin herself said that 'Dancing' producers had originally approached Todd, not Bristol.

"They wanted Todd to be on the show," she said at a political event. "I think that would have been cool to see, too. But here Bristol is, out of her comfort zone, doing something all new."

If Todd is truly looking for a new kind of experience, he should DTB and MTS. I volunteer to help him explore the new territory.

DWTS producers are nothing but money hungry wh*res; they are despicable. Is there nothing they would not do for ratings = money? Have they no shame, apparently not.

Give it a break. Their in business to make money and that means ratings. Obviously you've never owned a business.

No I won't give it a break, who are you to tell me? If you really know how to read and comprehend words, then you know I said they're in it for the money/ratings. Obviously your are ignorant, because you don't know me, and don't know if I've ever owned a business, so think before you attack someone's post; you might want to try some *critical thinking;* look it up.

Hey, I just heard that Todd Palin went fishing while sister Sarah was bagging cash in the lower 49, he was just down in Bristol bay and casted a wide net and caught a big fish, bigger than a salmon, you go Todd!

This may be good for Todd, because after he was caught cheating having sex with a prostitute,...he be wanting to get out of the house, and be as far away from Sarah as possible...plus, he may need to make some of his own money!

IF DWTS CHOOSES TODD OR ANYONE ELSE WHO IS CONNECTED TO POLITICS, I WILL NOT WATCH. I'VE WATCHED EVERY SEASON AND DID NOT ENJOY THIS LAST GO-AROUND BECAUSE A PALIN WAS THERE. BEFORE THAT IT WAS KATE GOSSELIN AND TOM DELAY. ABC, YOU HAVE COMPLETELY IGNORED WHAT YOUR FAN BASE WANTS.

I WILL NOT WATCH!

"Will Sarah Palin run for President in 2012?" Hells bells! The woman is already running for that office! If nothing else, she will enlist the Tea Party to allow her to run on a Third Party ticket!
