Levi Johnston is angling for Sarah Palin’s old job, said the New York Daily News. A week after Palin’s daughter Bristol canceled their second engagement and called Johnston “obsessed with the limelight,” Johnston, 20, has signed on to a reality show in which he will run for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska. That’s the same office, of course, in which Palin got her start in politics. Johnston may have a real shot at winning the job: The current mayor won with just 466 votes. “The more I think about it, I think there’s a possibility we can make it happen,” said Johnston. “It’s something I want to do.”
