This is (from my observations) the opinion of a lot of independent voters. He will force Mitt to respond, how it plays out...
I do think politically it is a gamble, especially with what happened in NC yesterday.
As far as this issue goes, I have yet to hear an argument (excluding churches, which can do as they want) as to why this is such a big deal.
