Family values ex-Nevada lawmaker appears in bikini for Maxim

LAS VEGAS | Thu May 17, 2012 8:35pm EDT

(Reuters) - A former Nevada state Senator who ran on a Christian family values platform has posed in a bikini as a write-in candidate for the men's magazine Maxim's "Hot 100" contest.

The magazine will announce results of the annual contest next week, but a photo of Elizabeth Halseth posed in a black bikini against a desert mountain backdrop has featured on the magazine's website as one of the most popular 'Hot 100' write-ins of the year.

"The former state senator of Nevada clearly knows a thing or two about campaigning: The votes for Halseth keep on coming," a caption under her write-in candidacy photo reads. "And with a couple years in office under her belt, she just might be ready to represent on the Hot 100."

News of the arc of Halseth's career, from staunch advocate of family to potential pin-up model, has stirred reactions ranging from "only in Las Vegas" to regret over damage to the Republican cause.

1. Seems to me like one could have good Christian values and still wear a bikini.

10. You Didn't Read The Reuters Link

She won her seat in part by showing a flyer with her opponent's WIFE WEARING A REVEALING DRESS". The caption was "not our values".

So, she is being amazingly hypocritical, which suggests she doesn't agree with you.

11. It doesn't look hypocritical to me.

"Our values" for republicans means "something that benefits me personally."

An opponent's wife looking overtly attractive doesn't benefit her.

4. But there are no peecturesss!!!

No, really, don't bother. I had my share of "nice looking on the surface but downright sick minded and spiritually ruined" ages ago. She's a hypocrite and that's it.
