www.lds.org
and I happen to know that they are christian
the name of their church is after all, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

My vote is still up for grabs. While I think Romney running for President is interesting, I'd like to know more about what exactly his platform is. The election is still a year and a half away - it's too early for me to say.

I would find it difficult to vote for one. The fact that he or she is a Mormon would make me question their judgment. Anyone who has read ALL the doctrinal documents of the Mormon leadership would rationally conclude that Mormonism is non-orthodox Christianity.
One can carefully study the doctrines and theologies of the Mormon beliefs (see sources below), and can then form their own conclusions. I see no issue with someone objectively stating their opinions if they are based on a rational analysis of the issues. I have found the non-Christian religions, such as Mormonism, to be philosophically indefensible, being internally incoherent or undermining human reason and experience.

There are many members of religious groups that have staked their eternal souls on their beliefs without searching the scriptures, reviewing the doctrinal writings of church leaders, studying them carefully to satisfy themselves that what they have been told is sufficiently rational and worth believing.

No, conservative who lets religion beliefs guide his poltical opinion. Good all around guy and fine businessman/politician but not a president.

No. He seems to be campaigning on the fact that he is 'electable'. I'll vote for 'Congressman No'.

No. He's not fiscally conservative enough.
