Poor and unemployed people with nothing better to do than camp out in a Boston park for days/weeks at a time. Even the Democrats don't care about votes from these people any more.
Also, regardless of if you agree with the movement, it is a good example of how politically selective the news is. This has been going on over at Wall Street for weeks now with some pretty substantial turnout even in the beginning. National news has only recently started reporting about it because it was growing so quickly and, I guess, they basically couldn't ignore it any longer.
Our politically charged media attempts to ignore major people, issues, events in an effort to make them insignificant. Hell, just look at the media blackout and completely twisted reports/polling with Ron Paul.
