I consider Mormons as Christians and most people I know do although they might not agree with everything they believe.
I do too and I came up in the "conservative wing" of the Lutheran Church. I got an awakening when I moved to TX and worked with, and had a lot of clents who were evangelicals. The consider Mormons to be "cult" members. The first time I heard that I almost fell over.

They explained to me that to them a "cult" is any operation that does NOT accept Jesus Christ as the TRUE lord and savior. I might as well have insulted the UT Longhorns or A&M Aggies!

LA Times endorsed Obama.

That would be a small percentage of the Republican party. Not all Christian conservatives consider themselves evangelicals. They do not control the party like some think.

Somebody should've forwarded that memo to the McCain campaign whizzes.

On topic....The Houston Chronicle endorses Obama/Biden. It mentions that Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison would've made the choice more difficult had McCain picked her instead of Palin.

Yup--Hutchison would have been a much better choice. Palin really hurt McCain.

For the Chicago Tribune, this is the first time they have ever endorsed a democrat. They didn't even endorse Adlai Stevenson. This is huge.

LDS church members do believe in Jesus and that "he died for our sins". For crying out loud, the name of of their church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
