I'm in agreement with the right-wingers in this thread - the Supreme Court decision doesn't help Obama, and probably slightly hurts him in terms of Romney's ability to mobilize the base. I think the situation of higher levels of Obama 'success' will make the Republican base forget entirely about their distaste for Romney, and they'll be much more motivated by election day. It could also tend to swing a few more (not many, but a crucial few) of those middle-of-the-road voters (white suburban non-social conservatives).
I don't think this will necessarily lead to a Romney win, but it isn't good news in Ohio, Iowa, and maybe Michigan and Florida. So on balance the win is not a win electorally.
