"Liberal evangelical voters come out swinging"
"Moderate evangelicals, who hold more-or-less traditional Christian beliefs but are slightly less active in church than those who better fit the "religious right" stereotype, make up about 10 percent of the electorate, according to John Green, a political scientist at the University of Akron.

Then there are the liberal evangelicals, more theologically liberal than their moderate brethren but still firmly encamped inside evangelical denominations, such as the Southern Baptist Convention.

This most curious minority, which makes up about 2.5 percent of voters, could end up swinging the election in Sen. John Kerry's favor, Green and other pol watchers say."
