According to E!, the #1-rated show wants to dance with another Palin on the upcoming next season and they have their eyes sight on Todd Palin, who's currently starring with the rest of the family on TLC's reality hit "Sarah Palin's Alaska."

"They want him big time," a source told E!. "They'd love Sarah, but they don't think that will ever happen, so why not go for the dad."

Like Bristol, who ended up in the top 3 with Disney Channel star Kyle Massey and "Dirty Dancing" star Jennifer Grey, producers reportedly believe Todd would be "ratings gold."

There's no word yet if he's been approached and "Dancing with the Stars" does not comment on casting rumors until the final line-up is unveiled prior to the start of the season. The next season of "Dancing with the Stars" is expected in the Spring.

Also reportedly on producer wish lists are John McCain's daughter Meghan McCain and Elliot Spitzer, who currently co-hosts a talk show on CNN.
