Levi Johnston spoke candidly to CBS' "The Early Show" on Friday morning about his recent break-up with Bristol Palin and his mayoral race.

With rumors swirling that Bristol will be a contestant on the upcoming season of "Dancing with the Stars," Levi responded, "I don't think I'm any more obsessed with making a career out of this than she is."

Levi Johnston: I Regret Apologizing to Sarah Palin

In an exclusive new interview with CBS News' "The Early Show" this Friday, Levi Johnston tells correspondent Betty Nguyen that he regrets an apology he issued to the Palins last month. "I don't really regret anything. But the only thing I wish I wouldn't have done is to put out that apology [to Sarah Palin in People Magazine] 'cause it kind of makes me sound like a liar. And I've never lied about anything. So that's probably the only thing. The rest of the stuff I can live with," says Johnston. In his original apology to the Palin family, Johnston said: "Last year, after Bristol and I broke up, I was unhappy and a little angry.
