Dancing Producer Responds to Voting Controversy (Free Republic, Jim Robinson in People Magazine!)

The million-dollar question among Dancing with the Stars fans these days? How did Bristol Palin make it into the season 11 finals?

"She deserves it," DWTS executive producer Conrad Green tells PEOPLE. "And a significant portion of our viewing audience believes that, too."

Speculation has arisen about whether members of the Tea Party, many of whom strongly support Bristol's mom Sarah Palin, are involved in an organized effort to promote Bristol.

On one conservative Web site, Freerepublic.com, some of the site's 300,000 registered users have recently used discussion threads to encourage votes for Bristol. One asked users to "make liberal heads explode and vote for Bristol" on Nov. 8 to advance her to the semi-finals.

But Jim Robinson, who founded the site, says there is no larger plan at work. "An organized conspiracy? I sincerely doubt that," he told PEOPLE. "The Tea Party's not that organized!"

And Green agrees that there's no stuffing of the virtual ballot-box, saying that the entire process – text votes, call-in votes and email votes – "is all overseen by the Broadcast Standards team, independent of us and the network to make sure that everything is absolutely done scrupulously."

Sounds like a plan...lol.

Dr. Scarpetta and I can fight over who’s going to ping Jim.

I think Dr.S. should ping Jim to her DWTS List and I’ll merely ping Sarah’s List to the thread for the finale’!!

800-868-3407 = Bristol and Mark

First, Free Republic members will pick the Dancing with the Stars winner and, then, it's members will pick leaders to run the country and, after that, the world!

Take that, Freemasons!

...and the network and advertisers thank all you Bristol supporters for making this one of the most profitable seasons ever.

Which episode was that? Nice dress. I didn’t see that one. It’s hard to find them on You Tube. For some reason there are plenty of the others but few of Bristol.
