Do you think that Obama coming out & saying that he favors gay people being able to marry, will it help his campaign or will it affect him negatively?

All things considered, especially the rabid right-wing conservative pro-religion, pro-strict interpretation of the Bible individuals ~ will Obama’s statement that people should be able to marry who they want to marry, hurt his election chances in November – or will it help his chances to be re-elected? Do you think it will help Romney win the election (Romney is still firmly against gays being able to marry)?
