Giuliani’s Daughter Backs Obama on Facebook Profile

Authored by dmw on August 6, 2007 - 12:45pm.

Washington — Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani’s daughter Caroline, 17, has signaled that she supports Democrat Barack Obama for president, according to her Facebook profile. She belonged to Democrat Barack Obama's Facebook group "Barack Obama (One Million Strong for Barack)" until today when she left the group after the online magazine Slate sent an inquiry.

Her profile can be viewed by Facebook users who have access to New York City's Trinity School or Harvard University networks. Caroline, who is Giuliani's daughter with his second wife, Donna Hanover, recently graduated from Trinity and will attend Harvard in the fall.

Giuliani, campaigning in Iowa, declined to comment on his daughter's political preference.

"My daughter I love very much," he told reporters. "I have great respect for her, and I'm really proud of her, and I don't comment on children, because I want to give them the maximum degree of privacy.

"The best thing to do, if you want to ask the press to leave the children alone, the best way to do it is not to comment on them one way or the other, except to say you're very proud of them, and you love them very much, which I do," he said.

The Obama campaign did not have any comment.

If you understand facebook, it doesn't mean she supports him (she never said she did in her profile) - only that she belonged to the group. What better insight into the voters for the competition. This is news?
