Miss Wisconsin dazzles as Miss America 2012

Laura Kaeppeler of Wisconsin has won the 2012 Miss America crown, dazzling crowds with her talent singing opera, strutting on stage in a bikini as well as a flowing black gown — and answering ‘intellectual’ questions.

Kaeppeler, 23, won in a two-hour, on-air competition with the final question in which she was asked to discuss the current state of divisive partisan politics in Washington.

She replied that Miss America represents all people and in these difficult economic times, politicians should look to what all of America needs.

“Thank you, thank you so much” was all Kaeppeler could manage to say amid tears as the crown was placed on her by Miss America 2011 Teresa Scanlan of Nebraska and as the other contestants circled around her.

A total of 53 women vied for this year’s title of Miss America.
