CHART: Americans Interest In Bain Capital Spikes On Google, Twitter

Recent coverage of Mitt Romneys private-sector record has piqued the publics interest in Bain Capital, the private equity firm Romney founded and ran during the 1990s.
The Romney campaign has held up his work at Bain as an example of how hed create jobs as president, but has dismissed Obamas attacks on his work at Bain as a distraction from the economy.
People are not worried about the details as to when Mitt Romney left Bain Capital to save the the Olympics, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), a Romney surrogate, said on the Sunday talk show circuit...But a quick look at Google and Twitter data shows that people are at least curious.
Google Analytics shows that the number of searches for Bain Capital has jumped dramatically in the last week. Many of those Google searches came from swing states including Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia where the Obama campaign is airing ads attacking Romney and his record at Bain.
