Probably not. I am Jewish and would love to see this (if he wasn't a dick head), but i am thinking no.

If the election were held this year, who would you choose to run? I can't think of any major, Jewish candidates (for Pres) in an election, pre pre-primary or otherwise.
A better question might be "when will there be a major Jewish candidate for Pres.?"

What does it matter?...
And I think Lieberman was the closest you were going to get.
But since 1/6th of Jews in America are satanists you may see one of them run the WH in a decade or less, and all the other Jews will back him since they are none the wiser.

I could be the first if you vote for me despite being a practicing Catholic with an Irish last name (it's the mom's side, the one that counts, that's Jewish, fyi)

Yes. Although not orthodox like Lieberman. Someone who came from the acting ranks most likely. Think Jon Stewart or Ben Stiller.

Thought about that, but I wasn't sure if he was Jewish or not.
And really, I don't think he would have ever won, but my question remains. What Jewish candidate would you pick today?

Since Goldwater's mother wasn't Jewish, he wouldn't be considered Jewish by heritage. He was also Episcopalian by faith.

I don't see why not...Most of the anti-Semites are in red states anyway.

Snowballs chances in hell would be better. The rise in Anti-Semitism in America would make a Jewish candidate more likely a recipient of a bullet

LBJ played the violin like a master to get that win. He tugged at the heart strings of America over JFKs death and wanting to continue the vision, along with making Goldwater a warmonger of immense scale. The cutesy daisy commercial was his way of going for the throat, and it worked. The result was LBJ Texas politics and a war too.

Goldwater wasn't Jewish. and to those who raised the Jewish of whom, great point.
My man Elliot Spitzer would have been the guy but a little extra stuff blew it for him as did Anthony Weiner.

It's still hard for me to believe that we'd elect a Black President before we elect a Jewish President. Five years ago I would have bet a lot of money against that happeneing.

Hell the proud display of anti semitism by those so proud to " root" against Israel is all you need to know.

I assumed that the OP meant people who were raised Jewish. Bill Maher's mother is Jewish but he was raised Catholic, complete with Baptism, First Communion and Confirmation. Similary, Obama's father was Muslim, but it was his mother's atheist family that raised him.
