Nathan Yeo / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Columbia University history professor Richard Bushman discussed the disproportional amount of election press coverage that has focused on the religion of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, on Monday in front of a packed Filene Auditorium. Bushman, who is himself a Mormon, said that many people in the United States will not vote for a Mormon candidate based solely on their perception of the religion's ideals, but these include concern for the needy, cooperation and loyalty, which are beneficial qualities for a president, he said.
