NEW YORK (CBS) Bristol Palin has plans to follow in her mother's political footsteps.

The daughter of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin says she would "probably" run for office one day, "but that would be further down the road."

"If I saw something that needed to be changed, then I would step up to the plate and do something about it," she told E! News' Guiliana Rancic in an interview airing Thursday night.

Palin took Rancic on a tour of her new home in Arizona.

The 20-year-old admitted that she has no friends in Arizona, and that she spends most of her time looking after her son, 2-year-old Tripp. But she was offered a job at a local radio station, something that Palin said she's considering.

"We are in the works with them," she said of the potential job, adding that nothing is yet set in stone. "Just to see when and what the logistics and stuff of it but it would be a lot of fun."

She also told Rancic about her new boyfriend, Gino, with whom she grew up in Alaska.

"He's a good guy," she revealed. "He's a family guy. He's a Christian. We have all the same religious beliefs and our families both come first in our lives, and we just have a lot in common...He loves Tripp and he's just awesome to be around."

Palin also said that her mother and father approve of her beau, but she plans on taking things slow.

"I don't want another relationship that's out in the public eye like mine and Levi's was," she said. "So, it's definitely going to go slow. I'm not in a rush to get married or anything like that. We're only 20 and we're just having a good time right now."

The "Dancing with the Stars" alumna also told Rancic that she wants to go back to school and "hopefully" write a book someday. But Palin becoming an author might happen sooner rather than later - Amazon.com posted a preorder listing for a 304-page book called "Untitled Bristol Palin Memoir," set for a June 21 release. The listing has since been removed.

Please just give these Palin women the money they don't deserve and send them back where they came from. Enough is enough!

[hwoodude]

They both should run for dog catcher on Mars...and sent there with a one way ticket!

Imagine, this chubby little child...whose mother stumbles around criticising everything she doesn't understand, off handedly prattles on that "someday..someday!" she just might run for office...yuh know..like, golly gee guys, like, hey when the spirit moves, yuh know?"

Mother and daughter belong on another planet...please..someone, send them there..enough!! Don't Republican "leaders" know that Fox controlled "refidiater" and her non-stop prattle denigrates the Republican party? A strong two party system is needed in the U>S>..it's a strength, not a weakness...but NOT so with Palin.

Beware tea baggers, what ever you want to change in the government, input from the likes of Fox's group of hating, criticising, belittling Palin, Beck, Limbaugh, et al are tunnel visioned and harmful.

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

Good idea. And you can put two fingers up at people when they don't vote for you, like you wanted to on "Celebrity Dancing".

I'd vote for Charlie Sheen before I'd vote for another Palin.

...and I'll probably be the Queen of England some day.

[stn_sage]

Yes! She's learned from mom...it's not WHAT you know...it's HOW you present yourself (presentation) that counts! Combined with, W.C. Fields' quip about,'there's a sucker born every second'...almost anyone...can
get elected if they manipulate 'appearances'!

[levelheadedtoo]

I really don't know why Bristol thinks she needs to run for office. When Mama is elected she will need a talented cabinet and I'm sure there will be a place for everyone in the family. With her remarkable dancing skills and reality show experience, maybe she can run the National Endowment for the Arts. Bristol's communication ability may come in handy as Sec. of State. With only the CBN and FoxNews, there won't be much challenge as Press Sec.

Raw talent can be a great substitute for experience and knowledge. Who can forget Michael "heck of a job" Brown who was running a horse business when he was called to become Director of FIMA.

That's all we need another TWIT just like her mom.

[MilitaryRetiree]

I think you used the wrong vowel.

[iolo--2008]

it is comical (and tragic) how the twits who shriek 'how dare you' do the same thing themselves, as a reflexive reaction - say comparing palins to Kennedy's -

then there are the ankle biters, j(ust)v(acuous)1970 is one of the annoying little terriers who rush up behind you and try to rip your socks -
once she shows up, you know it's time to move along, as she's late anyway - too busy somewhere? doing what??

the palins are a symptom of hereditary inadequacy - they are the purveyors of the coming pornocracy, theirs is the power of glamour, and should we ever fall into their grip, we will be in a tailspin like the time of the collapse of the roman republic - of course that comparison is meaningless to too many, so i'll put it another way - we will be up a creek without a paddle - if you think the bushes and rr and nixon were bad, what about someone with a complete lack of relevant experience, voracious ambition, and a total lack of intellectual abilities, someone such as, say for instance, sp, what do you think would happen with such a large complex endeavor, such as the american experiment is -
sp thinks we're like a bisquick recipe

horse biscuits anyone? fresh cow-pies from sarah's oven?
yummy!

-and all this? it won't be that they will do it to us, it is that we will have done it to ourselves -

yes, i'll take mine with more saccharine, please.
folks who've never been on a farm don't know what bull pucky is.

the palins are like an opportunistic cancer, and with bristol, it has metastasized
bp is one step removed from lindsay lohan, and sp should try to run a brothel rather than a country - that way she would still be makin' the men happy, no one would have any commitment, and so forth

there are 999 out of a thousand reasons not to want her, and the one reason, because nit-wits are enamored of her, doesn't outweigh even one of the others by a long shot

[levelheadedtoo]

With Sarah's 2.5 GPA and Bristols GED they should make for a interesting duo. If you aren't smart enough to use birth control as a teen, how on earth will you be smart enough to make choices for others?

If you look at the political landscape today, logic doesn't fit anymore. Alabama has a governor that only sees christians as brothers and doesn't recognize anyone else. A witch runs for the senate. A certifiable nut job , Bauchmann, wants to be president but can't even get a committee position from her party. People spend hundreds of millions of there own money to be a politician. Must be the water.

[RedWings_ninety_one]

I am not going to stop you, but I can't guarantee you my vote either...it depends on your views...may God help you if you run Republican. If you join the Tea Party, you damn well better run under the Tea Party and not the Republican party. (I don't care if the Tea Party is all Republicans)

[JV1970]

Just how would you stop her? Any American citizen has the right to run for public office if they want to and if they have the money to pay for the filing fees and the campaign!

[bobbyboobee]

Kind of sad isn't it, to see that a vacuous uneducated self serving money grubbing female can spawn someone even better at being loathsome than herself.
