Mormons and being president

Mitt Romney is running for president. Mitt Romney is a mormon.

What's really interesting to me is how Milt Romney's presidential run will play out with Evangelical Christians who consider mormonism a cult.

I quote a news article from MSNBC today, "“He has to present himself as a person of faith,” Mr. Ostling said. “But he has to say he is not controlled by or is subservient to the authorities of his religion.”

I can remember when I was first pastoring in a small town near Bakersfield back in 1981. One of the major issues amongst the evangelical churches was whether to have the Mormon church softball team play in our "church" league and it even went so far as there were some Christians who suggested we banned Christians from going to our local Mormon dentist.

So the bigger question becomes, "can an evangelical Christian vote for a Mormon to be president?"

I don't want so much to give an opinion here as to ask your opinion - what do you think?
