Rudolph W. Giulianis daughter, Caroline, has done her best to keep out of the spotlight as her father runs for president, choosing to keep complicated family matters private. And for his part, Mr. Giuliani has tried to shield both her and his son, Andrew, from attention.
But the very public nature of the way young adults socialize via the Internet, posting private musings for all the world to see, thrust her into the limelight today with word that her online profile suggested she supported Senator Barack Obamas presidential bid.
On her profile in Facebook, the popular online social networking site, Ms. Giuliani, 17, listed her political views as liberal and noted her membership in a group called Barack Obama (One Million Strong for Barack).
As word of her supposed Democratic allegiances ricocheted across the Internet after the online magazine Slate broke the news, visitors to her profile found that she had already moved to alter history. She quit the Obama fan club at 6:01 a.m., and, after Slate posted its article, she took down her entire page.
Mr. Giuliani alluded to his daughters differing political outlook during a campaign stop in Iowa, noting, with apparent regret, that his children dont work on my campaign.
My daughter, my daughter I love very much; I have great respect for her and Im really proud of her, he said. I dont comment on children because I want to give them the maximum degree of privacy. Mr Obama, who was campaigning in Le Mars, Iowa, was asked what he thought about the support from such an unexpected corner.
Thats very nice, Mr. Obama said. We think its wonderful that we are attracting support from young people all across the country. I cant wait to meet her.

Frankly, i don’t care if Mrs. Giuliani has her hands in her husbands campaign -— he’ll never get my vote -— or whether she needs a separate seat for her handbag.
Judi Giuliani is no better than Rudi Giuliani.
Two liberal peas in a liberal pod.
No thanks.
i don’t know, i don’t really agree with you there. i have a daughter Caroline Giuliani’s age, who will be a freshman in college later this month. her political views are informed and savvy and they reflect her upbringing and ideology.
i don’t see that point being disputed anywhere.
Roody's daughter's upbringing and ideology are also informed, she just happens to prefer a different liberal to her father.
Well, except that Reagan was a good man, and Giuliani is pure evil.
If one of Fred Thompson's, Duncan Hunter's or Mitt Romney's children were supporting Rooty, you and the rest of the Rooty Rooters would be orgasmic.
When did any of Reagan’s children support a candidate who was running against him?
Is the NYT, and the rest of the MSM, still sucking the warts in Hilliary’s sweaty crotch?
Damn, I wish I had read that before I ate dinner. That is an image that would have saved me a few calories.
Hillary will get her on her side along with a week of news for Hillary.You can take this to the bank!!!!!!.......Hillary’s everywhere I tell you!!!!!.....
I believe you are using the wrong name Xsmommy. Caroline is so unhappy with her father that it has been reported she has dropped his name. She is now Caroline Hanover I believe.
Bull shi* You pull off what that guy did in NYC. Great guy
When I said that Rudy was "pure evil," I was referring to the category "morals" - sometimes called "character." I realize these terms are unfamiliar to Rudybots, so I apologize for failing to explain them in my post.
Well put. My daughter and I are closer politically, moderate Republican Rudy fans; than to my husband and son who are a bit closer to the far-right edge of the curve. We generally get along quite well.
Sorry, but the MSM is so friggin’ intimate with her thighness it makes me sick. I just wanted to share.
Not sure what you mean by support, but it’s my understanding that Ron Reagan Jr did not vote for his father in either ‘80 or ‘84. Also deeply upset his mother when he spoke at the DNC convention.
Let us pray that does not happen.
