Tea Party backing Bristol Palin

There is a rumor that the Tea Party has been fueling votes for Bristol Palin on Dancing With the Stars season 11 leading her to the semifinals. One thing is because of the Palin brand. Another thing is that her voting number has been posted on political blogs, encouraging viewers to vote for her. It is a shame that despite being at or near the bottom of the judges' scoreboard, she has already beaten out contenders Audrina Patridge in week 6, Rick Fox in week 7, and Kurt Warner in week 8, even though they each received higher judges' scores that she did. I have a feeling that Brandy Norwood could be the next victim of this Tea Party effect, and I will be upset about it.
