Will this hurt Romney?

[Dick Tuck]

Mitt Romney rushed to state his opposition to marriage equality in America after the President state his personal belief in human rights in this nation. Romney went out of his way to state marriage is for ONE man & ONE woman; appearing to imply same gender marriage would include polygamy. Will this hurt him in November? Was he trying to emphasize the long ago tradition of polygamy in the LDS church is just that?

Romney is showing himself to be a political light weight on the big league stage.

Romney hasn't turned up the heat yet on Obama's past and college transcripts he is refusing to show.

Cash Pours In For Obama After Same-Sex “Evolution,” No Boost For Romney

No, it won't hurt him because everyone knew his stance already. The gay marriage issue is not a hot button issue with voters. Neither is abortion or birth control.

The media and the candidates need to start focusing on issues. People are hurting out there.

My guess is this issue mildly helps Romney and maybe mildly hurts Obama. Not a really big shift either way though.

Mitt Romney's opposition to gay marriage unites base - Emily Schultheis - POLITICO.com

Social conservatives who doubted Mitt Romney now have a reason to rally around him after President Barack Obama’s embrace of gay marriage.

Despite the fact that very conservative and religious voters didn’t support Romney in the primary, their fierce opposition to the issue will give the presumptive GOP nominee a way to harness conservative enthusiasm in November.

And for Romney, whose position on same-sex marriage has been consistent over the years, conservative activists say Obama’s declaration may be a way for Romney to finally prove his bona fides to voters on the right who have always been suspicious that he’s not one of them.
