There are definitely fewer conservative Republican evangelicals this time around. There are big Christian blocs who are tipping over to support Obama--and not as a "lesser of two evils", either. They actually see him as more consistent with Christian values than McCain is.

Evangelicals are conservative almost by definition. They're required to push their belief system and win converts. If a Christian is open to a candidate because they seem to share values, that's more ecumenical.
