Eh, based on that article it shows more that people want to know more about him, not necessarily that they’re going to vote for him. However, I do believe he shows a great chance at being president. Honestly I think that in 2009 we’re getting ourselves a Democratic president, and I think Obama’s current 10 win streak shows his popularity more than a search engine.

Obama’s strongest point is his ability to move people when he speaks.
Obama makes Bill Clinton sound like GWB when he gives a speech.

It just means that people may not just be taking Obama at his words but actually researching and seeing if his record actually matches his claims.

Barack Obama, the wunderkind of US politics, has long basked in adulatory press coverage for his historic White House bid — but a media backlash appears to be building.
Hillary Clinton, Obama’s bitter rival for the Democrats’ presidential nomination, has long complained that the young Illinois senator is getting a free ride from journalists in thrall to his promise of change.
"Obama is the new story this year and reporters love novel plotlines," said Darrell West, a political scientist and media expert at Brown University in Rhode Island.
"But as it gets closer to the nomination, there is going to be more scrutiny of him. Reporters are going to examine his statements, his votes and his background," he told AFP.
