Jewish student for Ron Paul; Perry is out; who’s next? [Today in New Voices]

David Deerson, a junior at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill meets Ron Paul | Zach C. Cohen

It took New Voices Associate Editor Zach C. Cohen (also recently dubbed New Voices politics correspondent as well) some time to find a Jewish student who supports Ron Paul, but our ace reporter found one. Check out his story:

David Deerson went to Jewish day school, attended and worked at a Jewish summer camp and he has been to Israel multiple times. He also thinks the Jewish State might as well be in Wyoming. And he’s voting for Ron Paul in 2012.

Next, we might have gone after a Jewish student supporter of Michele Bachmann, but that ship has long since sailed. Failing that, Rick Perry would have been next on our list, but news of the end of his campaign and his endorsement of Newt Gingrich hit today.

So next up, we’re on the lookout for a Jewish student with a thing for Mitt Romney (which shouldn’t be too hard to find), a Gingrich supporter (which may be a little harder to find) or a Jewish student who has anything other than total contempt for Rick Santorum. If you know someone who fits any of those descriptions, help us out! Which one would you rather see next? Let us know in the comments or email Zach at zach@newvoices.org.
