So check this out - as you would expect, Rand absolutely blows the competition out of the water when it comes to overall search volume, but Trey is getting the most media attention, and it seems like all of RP's potential opponents are getting as much or more media attention than him.

Another point of concern is that within Kentucky, Rand seems to be neck-and-neck with his opponents in overall search volume.

Rand Paul supporters in Kentucky seriously need to get his name out there, and work on getting him in the local media as much as his opponents.

You should look at the last 30 days. Completely different story. Some names of some of the candidates are very common names (Bill for sure) which completely throws it out of whack.

Yeah - I have signed up for Google Alerts and there are many more stores about Rand than there are about Trey.

Mainstream publications or online blogs?
