I've read a number of articles on this and the comments from readers aren't positive. Most seem to think that he's just pandering for votes and it's not earning him any points.

This endorsement of Gay Marriage is going to cost Obama the South and most of the western states too. This puts Florida, Virginia, N Carolina, Nevada, and Colorado in the GOP column with another 72 EV bringing Romney's total to 263.
So Romney only needs either Ohio or Pennsylvania, or New Hampshire and Iowa together.
I think Romney will get PA and OH too for a total of 311 to 227.
Obama just shot himself in the arse.
I think you guys are VASTLY over-estimating the number of Obama supporters who will flip because of this.
I don't know how many Latino's were planning on voting for Obama--but I imagine since they typically have a very strong Catholic base--that many are looking at Romney tomorrow a little more seriously--along with many democrats who do not--nor would not approve of same sex marriage.
Again--Barack Obama could not have handed Mitt Romney a better gift.
I'm assuming Romney will offer them all amnesty, and that will be that.
No? You think not.
Yeah. I didn't really think so either.

Newsflash: people who get to vote are citizens and thus don't need amnesty.
No, those who disagree with the president werent going to vote for him, anyway.
Where do you get this factoid from?
Ah yes, from your nether region.
Shoulda known.
Logic, asshole.
Oops, I promised to be a kinder, gentler me. Allow me to try again.
"I despise Romney and everything he stands for. Nevertheless, I shall vote for him in November."
Does that sound logical to you? I hope not. That's because it isn't.

Newsflash; they have friends, family and loved ones who are not citizens, and do need amnesty.

To be honest--I think Obama just committed political suicide with this one. If you can't get California to go along with gay marriage--you're not going to have much luck anywhere else in this country. Democrats living in the mid west and south are going to be very offended by his endorsement--along with Latino's who are very Catholic faith based.
I think Obama really doesn't want a second term as President--and that's why he came out with this statement. Mitt Romney could not have received a better gift than this.

The words latino and illegal are really just the same to you I guess. Pretty racist way of thinking.

Well, I disagree. People who were going to vote for him will do so anyway. Those who were not going to vote for him, won't. Those who have yet to make up their mind because they just returned from one of the Jovian moons, pretty much figured he was a Democrat and will just come down on the side of gays because that his how democrats stay in power.I am quite certain that Obamas support for Gay Marriage is not priced in already.
The coming polls over the next few weeks should show us what the fallout is.
Democrats stay in power by coming down on the side of gays? You guys sound dumber and dumber every day

Only thing he proved is that he will lie his ass off to win.
At least will give you an answer, other than "I'm evolving".
fyi; that's pussy for "I lack the courage to tell you what I think or believe."

I agree, except that I think Obama more honest than Romney by miles.
Gay marriage trumps all this other shit. I am voting against Obama now and nothing else will change that unless Romney takes a similar stand or says he wants to ban guns or free speech or something else I think equally crucial.

Not easy to predict and there are of course many other issues people will base their vote on.
On the whole however I think Obama didn't help himself here. He probably thinks that coming out for gay marriage will energize support for him among liberals. But I doubt he won over anybody new and the people who are pro gay marriage and base their vote on that were going to go out and vote hor him anyway. He may however have provided greater impetus for people opposed to gay marriage to go out and vote against him, even if they don't really care much for Romney.
Obama is more honest than Romney?
On what planet?
