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

Personally, I consider Mormonism to be a Protestant denomination.  I'm not a theologist, but to my thinking, they are Christians who are not Roman Catholic and not Eastern Orthodox (Russian, Greek, Serbian, Ukranian, Armenian, etc).  They were born out of Protestant traditions in the U.S. in the 1820s.  I realize that many Protestant denominations do not recognize their baptisms, but some do (such as the Episcopal Church in Utah). 

Protestantism spans a wide range of denominations from "main line" Methodists, Presbyterians, Lutherans (ELC), Episcopals, United Church of Christ, many Unitarians; to Penticostals, Baptists, Seventh Day Adventists, Quakers, and all varieties of Evangelicals.  If you've been in the Armed Forces, there are generally Protestant Chaplains and Catholic Chaplains.  At larger bases, there will be a Jewish Chaplain and sometimes even an Orthodox Christain Chaplain.  But the Protestant Chaplain is trained to serve all denominations in religious services that are not Catholic, Jewish, or Orthodox.  Perhaps they would even serve a Mormon--more likely to than a Catholic or Orthdox Chaplain.
