FILE - In this Nov. 22, 2010, file photo, in this publicity image released by ABC, Bristol Palin, left, and her partner Mark Ballas perform on the celebrity dance competition series, "Dancing with the Stars," in Los Angeles. Wanna be famous? Forget reality TV. The presidential campaign could be just the ticket from nowhere to notoriety. It can be done with a heartfelt story. An off-hand remark. Or simply by having a distant connection to someone who's Somebody. For good or ill, the Palin and Johnston clans have masterfully leveraged their ties to Sarah Palin into more than a few moments of fame. Bristol Palin landed a spot on ?Dancing With the Stars,? among other media gigs. There's a rich tradition of relatives glomming on to the political spotlight. (AP Photo/ABC, Adam Larkey, File)

FILE - In this Feb. 11, 2012 file photo, Sarah Palin speaks in Washington. Not it! Republicans considered to be up-and-comers are scrambling to make it known they have no interest in becoming Mitt Romney?s running mate, taking themselves off the still-forming short list of would-be vice presidents. With Romney poised to win the GOP nomination in June _ if not earlier _ some of the focus has shifted to his pick for the number-two spot on his ticket but no one is rushing forward and many of the top prospects are trying to shut down the conversation before it begins.
