This may not be exactly the right spot for this, if necessary you can move it and sorry :).

I'm obsessed with google trends though I hate google, and have been told it's of zero importance but I still look at the Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, Herman Cain (or Michele Bachmann) everyday.Nothing had changed in about a week, Cain 1st, Ron 2nd, Perry, 3rd, Romney 4th but today I see Perry 2nd for the past 2 days.
I am 99.9% sure that the day before I saw him below Ron, so does google retroactively correct some results or did google mess with the numbers (I would not put them above it).And I any case why the sudden jump for Perry there.

I think they just updated a couple days all at once.

Aka they added the second and third all at once. They seem to fall behind during the weekends.

This. I was trying to work out the bump when I saw it earlier. It's a shame it wasn't a bump over the super highway or something.
