Because Romney pledges to repeal Obamacare and has said RomneyCare is only appropriate for Massachusetts and should be left to the states. Also, he is not the "father" of Gay marriage, the activist courts are. He merely implemented it so as not to get into a fight with the court. Obama's court picks will be more likely to impose same sex marriage nationally. Romney will be subject to at least some pressure from conservatives. Obama will be subject to none.
Mitt was downright cowardly about the court. The court did not even order Mitt to do anything at all. He acted as if it had.

Mittens is a liar. Not too long ago he was saying RomneyCare would be cool for the entire country. He still won’t tell the truth about RomneyCare and what a failure it is, and his surrogates have already said that it would be impossible to repeal ObamaCare so might as well keep “the good parts”.
On gay marriage, the courts had no power to impose gay marriage. According to the MA constitution, that domain was exclusively with their legislature. So there was no fight to be had with an activist court. It didn’t matter. Mittens campaigned that he would be better for gays than Kennedy. He meant it.
As for “pressure.” Look how much pressure he has. There is a large section of “conservatives” threatening and pressuring others into voting for him. If you so much as mention anything anti-Romney, they freak out and accuse you of voting for Obama.
