You may be right about that, but nobody thought a Catholic could be elected President when JFK was. It was a huge issue.
Of course the Catholics didn't have an Israel type issue to deal with.
Lieberman was very close to being "a heartbeat away" from the Presidency as Gore's runningmate.
A Liberman candidacy would be interesting to watch.
