Rudy Giuliani’s Daughter Supporting Barack Obama?

Whether it was a practical joke by his daughter, or an act of rebellion, Rudy Giuliani’s facing an embarrassing situation. According to Slate, Caroline Giuliani’s Facebook profile indicated she supported Barack Obama for president and not her own father.
On her profile, she designates her political views as “liberal” and?until this morning?proclaimed her membership in the Facebook group “Barack Obama (One Million Strong for Barack).” According to her profile, she withdrew from the Obama group at 6 a.m. Monday, after Slate sent her an inquiry about it.
While the chatter should fade away over the coming months, it will be interesting to see if this story ends up on the first page of Google. A year from now, Giuliani could lose a few votes if searchers dig up that story.

[…] Andy Beal thinks that this story may cost Rudy a few votes “a year from now.” I disagree. If Republican primary voters can get past Rudy’s multiple marriages, I doubt that his daughter’s political disloyalty will help to sway voters. However, it may help build an overall case that Rudy isn’t the traditional Republican savior that conservative primary voters are looking for. […]

To me that says Rudy raised a kid who can think for herself and not vote for daddy simply because he’s her pop. If anything, this illustrates how exploitative the media is when it comes to some of our nation’s most important issues, like choosing leaders and war. To them it’s ratings and scoops and that pretty much just makes them bottom feeders in my opinion. Oh my god, somebody has their own opinion, let’s play this story out to death! Retards.

@Terry - wouldn’t you also raise your kid to respect your parents? Publicly stating your opposition of your own father is hardly smart.

I also think she knows it isn’t smart. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have yanked it off there so quick.

@Mark - or maybe someone had to point it out to her.

Tried googling it using some keywords. 0 results found. Obviously they’ve got a no index tag on private profiles. Which leads me to the following question: Why would one of her “friends” point this news out to the media?

[…] Andy Beal vermutet, dass diese Geschichte Giuliani einige Stimmen kosten könnte. Für eine Person des öffentlichen Lebens ist es eben peinlich, wenn die Kinder rebellieren. […]
