Romney's Debt to Falwell

Falwell relied on Francis Schaeffer's theory on "co-belligerancy" to overcome his traditional fundamentalist Baptist aversion to being "yoked" with un-believers, paving the way for fundamentalists to form political coalitions with conservative Catholics, Mormons and others.
