Has there ever been a major party ticket where neither candidate was a white protestant male? |

I'm not aware of one before now. Has the media pointed this out yet?
Tickets where even one candidate isn't a white protestant male are a fairly new, rare phenomenon. I find it interesting.

8. Oh, I see. You meant the whole ticket. Not that I know of. The Greens |

have had some pretty good diversity on our potus tickets, but we aren't a major party in this country so we can't count those tickets for this question.

I guess they aren't technically protestant even though they aren't Catholic. Thanks for pointing it out.

Ferraro ran as Mondale's VP candidate; Dukakis picked Lloyd Bentsen as his VP candidate.
