Most opponents of gay marriage already thought that Obama supported it, while the overwhelming majority of those who did support gay marriage knew that he didn't support it yet. So from that perspective, it really made sense to come out for it.

I don't see how NC is "doable" for Obama this year.  He carried it by 14,000 votes (0.32%) in 2008 and it just voted against same-sex marriage 60 to 40. 

In November 2008, Obama opposed Prop. 8. Los Angeles county voted for Prop. 8 while Obama won it by 40 points.
