Busy Bristol Palin forgets to vote in midterm elections

NEW YORK - Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol did not vote in the midterm elections, as she was apparently too busy with her ‘Dancing With the Stars’ stint.

Bristol admitted that she forgot to do her civic duty.

“I did not send in my absentee ballots to Alaska. I’m going to be in trouble. Sorry, mom!” the New York Daily News quoted her as saying.

Sarah Palin’s reputation as a kingmaker is on the line in her home state because she is personally backing Tea Party favorite Joe Miller for the U.S. Senate and he needs every vote he can get.

Asked if she wants her mom to run for president in 2012, Bristol said, “Of course I do.”

“I know she is great, and she is great for our country,” she added.

A polarizing figure, Sarah Palin has been flirting openly with the idea but has not definitively said she will. (ANI)
