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

Oh the LDS is Protestant enough for government work. As one with no particular dog in the hunt, I am often quite amused by the proprietary attitude about branding of all the little sects that compete with each other for adherents.  It's quite ludicrous really. And the Catholics are closer to mainline Protestantism in general, than mainliners are to many of the other "Protestant" sects.

And just who gives a damn anyway?

Oh, and Mormons are Protestant Christians, just to let you know. Odd ones yes, but still Protestants.

I don't have a dog in the hunt, but that is a very contentious point of view. Mormons may believe they are in the Protestant tradition, but lots of Protestant sects don't even accept they are Christian.

Some Protestant sects don't consider Catholics Christian.

Very true. It would be easier not to play the game at all... but if I can't resist being baited by NY Jew on a similar topic...

And then there is the attitude of the Orthodox Jews (many of them), about Reform Jews, whom many consider the next best thing to Godless.

Oh my, I added my bit while Brittain33 added his bit independently on exactly the same thing. Brittain33 we may be becoming clones of each other. Ponder that for awhile.
