Former Senate candidate and tea party favorite Christine O’Donnell will not be donning a leotard anytime soon. The Republican announced Monday night that she has declined an invitation to samba with celebrities on “Dancing With the Stars.”

The Delaware Republican said in a statement that she finds the ABC show to be “one of the few uplifting TV shows out there.” But she’s choosing instead to finish her book on the 2010 election cycle and her new political action committee

She's deadly cute and she's just like you, except she ain't gonna be dancin' with no stars.

[Mortrey]

Thank God!

[EDINVA]

Not surprising. Especially if she wants any kind of political future.

I guess she has learned her lesson, though I fear the damage has been done with the witch thing.

If she wants a political future. She has no choice. The public will demand it.

Smart move. That was a set-up to embarrass her. Personally I believe B. Palin was invited on that show hoping that she would bomb and be voted off on the first week and by extension humiliating her mom.

[Clint N. Suhks]

I’m glad too, even though I would have loved it.

She’s been Palin’d by the MSM so why not, or does she not quit on her dream in politics?

Sincerely Push me Pull me...

[cripplecreek]

Smart move if she intends to have a role in politics in the future.

DWTS is trying to create the audience pull they had with Bristol Palin.

After all the hullaballoo then, "cry baby" won anyway. That didn't do their credibility any good.

[PrincessB]

Doesn’t matter. I’m voting for Ralph Macchio.

[mylife]

Understood.

Sarah flanked them when they did it to her.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Who could stomach watching that Liberal cow?

[Clint N. Suhks]

Come on, Cry Baby deserved it. Would have loved Bristol to win though.

It wasn’t like when Stacey Keibler got robbed...

[vrwconspiracist]

Agree - she should probably Delay such an appearance until she exits politics.

[merryberry]

theyd just make her look like a lite weight or a clutz and use any misstep for an ad campaign. No win in this at all

[GeronL]

The next series will be full of low lifes

[johnthebaptistmoore]

FR has rules for cute women, right? ;)

[re_nortex]

Am I the only person in the world that has never seen either this program or American Idol? I'm neither an entertainment elitist nor a stuffed shirt but amateur talent shows with singing and dancing just don't appeal to me for some reason.

[BenKenobi]

Indeed. Where’s the COD pics?!
