PHILADELPHIA - Kate Gosselin has a plan to win “Dancing With The Stars” and it has nothing to with her dancing skills, but with getting her mom fan base to flood phone lines.

Gosselin, 34, has told reporters she will use the mom fan base for “Jon & Kate Plus 8” to swamp the phone vote lines with votes for her.
“I have a team across the country planning to call in for me. We need every vote we can get,” she told Fox411. “There are patches of people everywhere. Tony’s kids and my kids assure us 11 votes!”
Despite the problems Kate and her ex-husband Jon Gosselin faced since May 2009, Kate Gosselin still has an established fan base across the country who are mostly moms.
And the ABC dancing competition is all about who gets the most votes.
“The most powerful and exciting thing that has come from all the fame and notoriety is the camaraderie with mothers,” Gosselin told Fox. “I feel a uniting of moms everywhere. Moms all do the same job and I get so much from the mothers everywhere. There is so much support.”
Playing the mom card could work for Gosselin. Fellow contestants Pam Anderson, Shannen Doherty and Erin Andrews aren’t exactly mom vote getters.
Cable host Niecy Nash doesn’t have a big following.
Last season, Donny Osmond used his huge fan base to win Season 9 of the competition.
And then there is always the Sanjaya factor.
In 2007, Sanjaya Malakar made it to the seventh round of “American Idol” when some fans who wanted to make fun of the contest united with Sanjaya’s real fans to put out a big vote for Malakar.
