More polls by CBS...it's really all about the economy and jobs.

Everything else is pretty much secondary.

Agreed. So why do people assume that his same sex marriage comments will cost him the election? I think his bumbling of improving the economy is a much bigger problem for the PR machine.

Yes, and yet at the same time his "stance" may have caused a few more voters to decide not to vote for him because of that. If you look at the CBS polls you can get a bit of an idea of that happening. The only question is how much damage, if any, will be the result come election time. No doubt it's the economy and job that are at the heart of this election issue.

Well, I don't see myself voting for the same change as 2008. I believed it once, shame on them.

Look my post - #75

There are some Romney supporters changed their vote to Obama after Romney's stance on gay marriage got too far.

I'm sure a sentiment shared by many more. Nothing "forward" about that.

Look at the polls .... just saying

Obama stated this for political reasons only, to gain fundraisers. But ... he is going to lose a lot of votes. nothing to sneeze at.

Also, there are plenty of Christians support gay marriage.

Majority of GLBT populations in USA are Christians.
