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

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.

Can't we agree that the Mormons are non-Protestant Christians? Of course I don't really care which branch of the Abrahamic religion people think they are.

And which 'tradition' do they descend from?

The Anglo-Saxon mess of semi-Low Church sects (all those different Protestant groups which spread in 17th and early 18th century on the British Isles like Baptist, Methodist, Quaker etc).

If you think of Catholics as a "tradition" branched off of Judaism, (disregard Orthodox), and Protestants as a branch off of Catholics, than wouldn't Mormons be a branch off of Protestants AND (weirdly) Judaism?  It forms a nice circle.
