Romney/Ryan is first major party ticket with no Protestant on it.

A lot of "firsts" can be overstated. Is this the first ticket with two surnames containing the letter "y" ?

Possibly. Not going to check through the defeated ones. Certainly not if we add given names, though, there've been about half a dozen successful ones alone in that case.

Absolutely!

The  point I wanted to make was that this election is already complicated enough with Obamacare and what-not; adding religion/faith only adds unnecessary 'heat'. That there is/isn't a Protestant on the ticket this year shouldn't be important in and of itself, though I am typing at half-2 in the morning with an English accent.

If this is the first "double y" nomination, that should be as much a trivial note to make as 'two Amish' or 'two lapsed Catholics".
