because she knows so much about politics.

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

well, it's no secret that the Guiliani kids are completely estranged from their dad because of the way he handled his divorce with their mother.

If his own kids won't vote for him, I wonder about the values voters in the Republican party.

[GaryC 7]

Eh, makes no difference. My son (by my first marriage) is as liberal as Steven is. Each person has his own views.

[Heracles 417]

she is an Obama girl

No wonder Guliani does not speak to her. She looks like a dumb ###.

[Fandango 1,440]

Eh she's young. Reminds me of the old saying

"If you are young and conservative you have no heart, and if you are old and liberal you have no brain"

Not like RG is the poster boy for conservatives, mind you....

Noticeably Absent From the Giuliani Campaign: His Children

By RUSS BUETTNER and RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑAAs he embarks on a campaign for the presidency, former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani is going forward without two people who once played supporting roles in his political life: his children, Andrew, 21, and Caroline, 17.

Andrew Giuliani has been at his father's side in campaign commercials and inaugurations since he was a toddler, famously bounding across the stage in a rambunctious manner and mimicking his father's rhetorical flourishes during Mr. Giuliani's 1994 mayoral inauguration.

But Mr. Giuliani's relationship with Andrew has grown strained and distant since his very public and bitter divorce from Andrew's mother, Donna Hanover, and his marriage to Judith Nathan, according to Andrew and others familiar with the relationship.

In a telephone interview yesterday, Andrew, a sophomore and member of the golf team at Duke University, acknowledged having had difficulties with Ms. Nathan, and said that he and his father had recently tried to reconcile after not speaking "for a decent amount of time."

"There's obviously a little problem that exists between me and his wife," the younger Mr. Giuliani said. "And we're trying to figure that out. But as of right now it's not working as well as we would like."

Andrew Giuliani said he would not participate in his father's campaign, saying his devotion to becoming a professional golfer within three years allows no time for distraction.

While he would not say how long he had been estranged from his father, others close to the family said it appeared to have been for at least a year.

Similarly, a distance appears to have developed between Mr. Giuliani and his daughter, now a high school senior who is to attend Harvard University in September.

The familial tensions come as Mr. Giuliani prepares to run for president and as other Republican contenders deploy their children as campaign assets.

Mr. Giuliani's three marriages have already bubbled up as an issue. In February, Ann Romney, the wife of Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, noted that her husband "had only one wife" — comparing him to other leading Republican candidates who had gone through divorces.

I'm not sure what point is being made here - should support/vote for a relative just because they're a relative?

She's 17. Its not like she can vote anyway...

[JODO 2]

Yea I think so too Look I talk to my parents, I am not invested in this one way or the other. I just thought context would be good. Frankly, he'll never get the RNC nomination with his abortion views so who cares.

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Chris Farley as Andrew Giuliani.
