Will 'Dancing With the Stars' Land Christine O'Donnell?
By Sandra Fish - Politics DailyWhether it's Christine O'Donnell, Todd Palin, Eliot Spitzer or Tipper Gore, "Dancing With the Stars" needs a politician when the season 12 lineup is announced Monday night. Why do they need a politician? Well, look at the popularity boost the show got last fall when a politician's daughter -- Bristol Palin -- made it to the finals of the show.

By Torie Bosch - AOL NewsFrom the tea party to reality TV? Politician Christine O'Donnell is considering an offer to appear on the upcoming season of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars."

Protecting the Palin Brand: Sarah and Bristol Go for Trademark Status
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailySarah Palin has become an industry. The former Alaskan governor has had books deals, starred in a reality television show and set up a political PAC that raised $3.5 million last year. Through midterm election endorsements, broadcast on her 2.7 million-fan Facebook page or via her 400,000 follower Twitter feed, Palin has cemented alliances to new GOP governors such as South Carolina's Nikki Haley and various members of Congress. But Palin is more than just a former mayor, governor, vice presidential candidate and political force. She has catapulted over most politicians to a status of ...
