No Mormon considers other Christians real Christians. They would say you are going to hell.
Sorry, I'm not a Mormon, but in this case I have to defend them. I know lots of Mormons. Not one of them will say that I am not a Christian or that I am going to Hell. What they will say is that I will not achieve the same level of exaltation that they do. At the end of the day, Mormonism has a surprisingly universalist streak running through it.
That being said, I don't consider the core of Mormon doctrine to be Christian, although many, if not most of my Mormon friends, I do consider to be Christian in that, to a person, they consider Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross to be the source of their salvation. They go on to add a whole lot of other stuff, by so do most Christians (unfortunately).
No one was ever saved by intellectual assent to proper doctrine. Only by the blood of Christ can one enter heaven.

Take a potential presidential candidate, set up a straw-man (he's a MORMON...ewww) then watch the fur fly.
The election is for the Office of the President, not for "High Potentate, Pope, Patriarch, Rabbi, Imam, High Priest".
From what I know of Romney, I don't agree with his policies, not his values, MA is not second amendment country, he has no experience with the issue.
