This will do little to enhance his standing with the average American. This will also drive the tea baggers nuts since they would like to use Snowden as a sort of 'poster child' for going after Obama for now and eventually Hillary, but if he holds-up in Russia somewhere, it's going to be hard to garner a lot of sympathy for his actions and how these were being done as a patriotic effort. It would have served the Right a lot better if he would have stayed in the US and taken whatever the feds would deal out, he at least could be portrayed as a martyr. Now he'll be seen as a traitor and perhaps even a collaborator if he discloses any of the additional 'secrets' he supposedly is still holding onto.
