While I'm sure it is harder for a beautiful woman to be taken seriously as a "brain", I really don't think a competition to find the prettiest conservative women is anything but objectification... which certainly seems to be counterproductive to including ALL women in a category to be taken seriously. I really don't think it's totally offensive, but that was my only "no" choice. If you want a competition, have a debate among all conservative women and put the "tiara" on the winner, pretty or not.
