So this could be a bad move for Obama, given all the morons in the Religious States.
The religious states are going to vote for him anyway.

In a way it can help him with the battleground states that have a decent number of hardcore right wing conservatives in them. The more Romney tries to make himself out as a hard right winger the more he looks like he is full of shit. If the far right thinks he is bullshitting them they won't vote for him. They won't vote for Obama, they just won't vote and that can help Obama.

Both sides will have issues getting their base to turn out for them this election so anything one can do to cause the other's base to lose enthusiasm is good for them.
