Some are.
Warren is leading way. Because of the lack of theology in many evangelical churches, they have no bedrock to make decisions from. So it becomes a cult of personality.
Now the more conservative evangelicals won’t, but they are starting to abandon Warren anyway.

“Sorry. The Baptists around here are voting Obambi no matter what.”
Sure am glad I do not go to what you call a Baptist Church.
Again, I voting to the number 1 supporter of partial birth abortion in the Senate means nothing.
And your close minded ‘pastor’? Should be an interesting conversation he’ll be having with Christ.

I’m not Baptist. My information is from talking to Baptist friends and acquaintences.

A Christian pastor's primary objective is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. First and foremost.I agree with you that that should be a Christian's first priority. However, I agree with the Salvation Army's "soup, soap and salvation" slogan in that I (and they) don't believe you can minister to someone's spiritual needs and leave their basic material needs (that is, food and shelter) unmet.
I don't believe government has any legitimate part in meeting those material needs though. That's the Church's job.

Are evangelicals swerving to the left in American politics? it's always been around 20% or so for decades

that is pure BS or some freak Baptist group.
All my kin....100s..are Southern Baptist or Catholic
none of the Baptist are for Obama, maybe a few young Catholic naive kumbaya girls are
Southern Baptist are the most conservatibe large denomination in this country
I’m in Nashville where Baptist and Church of Christ (not UCC) are the big dogs....very right wing.

....and this “elder” thinks Obama is the answer? That's pretty delusional.

Yup, same for me and mine. Wow, I don't think I know anyone who is going to vote for Obama! Of course, I did have a neighbor who was an Obama supporter (a white guilt thing), but after the Rev. Wright thing, the sign was removed from the yard, from the car, and I've not heard another word about him.

Same for me. I was always taught that Christian charity was a personal, individual, obligation and not something I was to pass off to the government and forget about.

We Evangelicals sure did’nt support Heritage’s lefty, wolf in sheep’s clothing, golden boy: Mit Romney. I’d say that we are still way to the right of Heritage/NR.

Warren is a self-promoting purveyor of the spiritual equivalent of snakeoil.
