The only benefit to Obama from his ‘coming out’ in support of same-sex ‘marriage’ was to get more money from gays and gay marriage advocates but they were going to vote for him, anyway. Some black voters may have less enthusiasm to work for Obama’s re-election and it’s likely that some blacks will decide to abstain from voting as a way of benignly opposing Obama’s gay marriage stand but not going so far as to vote for the rich white guy. That could tip the scales toward Romney in some places but not in N.Y. or California where the preponderance of liberals offsets the minority vote. In states that have a tight race - which I don’t foresee - that absence of the black vote might doom Obama. Let’s hope so.
