Father (doesn't) know best

By Scott Helman, Political Reporter August 6, 2007 03:44 PM

OK, this is rich: Rudy Giuliani's daughter Caroline has signaled her support for Barack Obama on her Facebook profile, Slate is reporting today. The Harvard-bound 17-year-old calls herself a "liberal" and had, until today, touted her membership in the group called "Barack Obama (One Million Strong for Barack)." (Slate reports that she listed the group on her page until Slate made inquiries.)

Much has been made about Giuliani's rocky relationship with his children -- his son Andrew said earlier this year that he was too busy with golf to help out on his dad's campaign, and that, "I got my values from my mother." But if Giuliani's daughter is backing Obama, that would be a major embarrassment, particularly as her dad tries to win political points by blasting Obama's views of foreign policy.
