Caroline Giuliani - Caroline, Rudy Giuliani’s daughter, was cute as a button a decade ago when she got a kiss from her dad as his then wife, Donna Hanover, looked on.

Now that dad's running for president, the 17-year-old Caroline is rarely seen with him. The self-described “liberal” and Harvard freshman even went so far as to back Obama’s presidential bid.
