Technically there is a difference between "candidate" (pre-convention) and "nominee" (post-convention). There have been three Catholic nominees (Gov. Al Smith, Democratic nominee, 1928; Sen. John Kennedy, Democratic nominee, 1960; and Sen. John Kerry, Democratic nominee, 2004).
There have been significantly more Catholic candidates. Patrick Buchanan sought the Republican nomination twice (1992, 1996) before running on a third-party ticket in 2000. In 2008 alone, there were 10: Sen. Joseph Biden (D-DE); Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS); Gen. Wesley Clark (retired); Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT); former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani (R-NYC); Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH); former Gov. George Pataki (R-NY); Gov. Bill Richardson (D-NM); former Gov. Tommy Thompson (R-WI); and Gov. Tom Vilsack (D-IA).
