Fallout begins: Black churches condemn Obama for same sex marriage flip flop

I don't think this will cost him a LOT of votes, but will it suppress turnout, especially down south? Still, this is a disaster for Obama (of his own making) and a boon for Romney:

Note that Romney re-affirmed his commitment to traditional marriage. We shall now see what effect (if any) it has in the polls.

He's going to get a lot of flack from Blacks. They are way less accepting of gays, and many are very religious. While it won't make them vote for Romney, it does make them much less excited about heading the polls like they did in 2008.

But they will still mostly vote for him. However, this guarantees that the black vote, while still overwhelmingly for Obama, will be smaller in size than it was in 2008. 95% of a smaller pie is.....smaller.

At the end of the day, gay marriage is unlikely to sway many voters who are predisposed to one candidate or the other to switch IMO. This might be a big deal right now, but come November, jobs and the economy will likely be the deciding factors in who most of the voters want in office.

That was my point. It's not like Blacks will not vote on racial lines, just as they did in 2008. It's just that there will be a lot less of them, as motivation for them is not at all what it was in 2008.

Who got the black vote, Cynthia McKinney or Alan Keyes?

I was listening to kjlh in LA after Obama came out and was surprised by how disappointed nearly all of the callers were. I didn't listen that long, but from several callers (5 or 6) and the radio dj's, only one person said that they agreed with Obama (the female DJ). Everyone sounded deflated, although everyone said that they would still vote for Obama.

OTOH, the semi-conservative talk show that I listen to on KFI makes fun of Romney for not supporting gay marriage, which they see as a no-brainer, equal rights issue.

He couldn't do this 4 years ago because originally black voters were in Hillary's corner, not Obama's. He had to pretend that he shared the same values as black Americans.

Manny Pacquiao opposes Obama’s stance on same-sex marriage

By Cindy Boren
Manny Pacquiao, a boxing champion and politician in his native Philippines, is staunchly opposed to same-sex marriage and President Obama’s recent stance favoring it.

Pacquiao called same-sex marriage “an abomination” and referring to the Bible, said, “God only expects man and woman to be together and to be legally married, only if they so are in love with each other.”

Pacquiao, who hopes to become an evangelist one day, told the National Conservative Examiner: “It should not be of the same sex so as to adulterate the altar of matrimony, like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah of old.”

Pacquiao (54-3-2 with 38 knockouts) is training for his June 9 bout with Timothy Bradley (28-0, 12 KOs).
