CHICAGO — Erika Harold (search) may be a former Miss America but the 2003 title-holder has been busier than ever. Harold will be a law student at Harvard this fall. But before heading off to Cambridge from her home state of Illinois, she has a scheduled stop in New York where she'll be a delegate to the Republican National Convention (search). She'll be there as President Bush (search) formally accepts the party nomination. Some Republicans hope it will be the first of many campaign events for the former beauty queen. "I would be very interested in considering the possibility of running for public office," Harold said. She already has fans in conservative circles, in part because she regularly talks to young people about abstaining from sex. On the issue of abortion (search), Harold describes herself as pro-life. The bright hope that Harold represents is rare good news this year for the GOP in a state where John Kerry (search) enjoys a double-digit lead over Bush and the Democratic U.S. Senate candidate is leading his Republican rival by better than two-to-one.

Erika America
Oh yes.
I remember her well.
Right after she won,
she let her politics be known.
Loved it.
:-) I think so.

As the new Miss America gets comfortable in her role, Erika is defying the normal stereotypes applied to many beauty queens. Her multi-racial heritage is "no big deal" to her, and though she is part black and part Native American, she checked "other" on her census form to avoid any preferential treatment that could come her way
It seems like the Miss America every year is a Republican. Maybe those are the only ones I remember...
of course there was one in Kentucky that decided later to join the Dark Side.
Delighted to see the lovely lady is one of us. God bless her and keep her.
You got that right!
I must say one very lovely, educated, talented young lady. Excellent choice for our party(Republicans-R-Us.)
Saddly, I have to disagree. She looks like Chelsea. Regardless, good to know that she's in our corner.
Now, that's a good shot. I should have scrolled down before I made my last comment. Sorry.
The first picture looks a bit like Lacy Peterson.
