This is Google trends. He's seemingly come out of nowhere, and is now being described by a range of sources as some "mysterious" "outsider" dark horse candidate. After suspiciously achieving massive dominance in Luntz's focus group(which have been noted for their fraudulent nature in the past.)

These headlines perturb me. Suddenly his name every where, Cain supposedly having won over the internet and the tea party. This is only a small sampling, mind you.

Cain is getting a disproportionate amount of positive press compared to RP, and is actually getting serious discussion of his economic views. And little negative press.

Heh. Just realized in retrospect title was a little misleading. I'll make sure to update OP. :p

Ron Paul gets about three times the mention.

A good indicator of online community support is looking at money bomb results. Just saw Herman got 73 pledges for a money bomb.

Yes, I would agree with that Cain's popular support is far less, but his positive media support is more visible.
