google news counts for candidates

querying news.google.com for the candidates, it is interesting to look at trends in the number of returns:

tonight we get:

"kucinich" 3800
"Joe Lieberman" 4,760
"gephardt" 5670
"john edwards" 6510
"john kerry" 7250
"howard dean" 11000
"wesley clark" 6030

Interesting to compare these numbers with those of about 3 weeks ago (estimated):

"kucinich" 1800
"Joe Lieberman" 5000
"gephardt" 5000
"john edwards" 3000
"john kerry" 5000
"howard dean" 8000
"wesley clark" 6000

Looks like Kucinich is getting more media mentions, relatively speaking, as is Edwards. Clark and Lieberman getting less.
