Huldah1776 let me say first that I don’t watch DWTS. I’m also not a supporter of Sarah Palin in a presidential run. Having said that I would agree with your statement that the votes should be about who the best dancer is if the left were not equally focused on voting Bristol off because of who her mother is. For Bristol this is about dancing and trying to win. For the left and the right it’s something totally different.
From the shows perspective, the bottom line, is to have the highest ratings possible that drives commercial revenue, which doesn’t mean that the “best dancer(s)” wins all the time. Bristol Palin is the show’s money winner.
