New Obama Girl?

Just a quick blurb on an item that was the talk of the 'tubes yesterday.

Remember the YouTube sensation Obama Girl in which a hottie in short shorts sings her affection for Presidential candidate Barack Obama? Well seems like she might have some competition.
There's one vote that Rudy Giuliani definitely can't count on in his 2008 presidential bid: his own daughter's. According to the 17-year-old Caroline Giuliani's Facebook profile, she's supporting Barack Obama.

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.

It's not surprising that Rudy's kids aren't too fond of him since, as the article quoted above goes on to note, Caroline and her older brother Andrew have had a rocky relationship with dear old Dad since he left their mother for his current arm candy, Judith Nathan. And while I'd have to agree with Joe that this is unlikely to seriously affect either campaign, I can't help but wonder about the fracas that would have ensued from the rightie blogs had this been Chelsea Clinton instead.
