just people specific groups and individuals may not get credit or people may not directly relate to it doesn't mean they haven't had influence.

the President has come out in support of same sex marriage, yet This election is mostly Hurt Romney because Occupy and others brought attention to these issues. in previous elections it was all about who loves god the most, gays are going to bring down civilization etc.

these attacks were so effective against Romney than Republican Candidates used them against him also. it's part of the reason why he would just get enough to win rather than win big, even towards the end .
