Obama gay marriage support could roil Va contest

President Barack Obama's newly announced support for same-sex marriages adds an emotional new element with an uncertain effect into his re-election bid in Virginia, a battleground state he won in 2008 but where voters have consistently opposed it.

Virginia Democratic and Republican leaders on both sides and political analysts said Wednesday it's unclear whether Obama or his presumptive Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, gains the most in an election dominated by the economy.

Obama, who once opposed gay marriage, became the first sitting president to announce his support for it. He said in an ABC News interview Wednesday that he was taking a personal position on the issue and felt public policy on marriage is best decided by individual states.
