Obama tops in Google searches, but no Hillary Clinton

Do Americans already know enough about Hillary Rodham Clinton that she doesn't need to be Googled?

In Google's list of top U.S. searches for 2014, the former secretary of State and potential 2016 presidential candidate is nowhere to be found among the most-searched politicians. And if you think Americans already know enough about President Obama, guess again: He's at the top of the 2014 list.

The midterm elections for Congress and governor apparently didn't spark enough curiosity to generate searches for some of the candidates who faced voters this year — except for two Wisconsin Republicans, Gov. Scott Walker and Rep. Paul Ryan, who are also being mentioned as potential 2016 presidential candidates.

If there's a theme about Google's top searches of politicians this year, it could be that Americans want to know more about the Republicans interested in succeeding Obama in the White House. Possible GOP candidates Chris Christie, Rand Paul, Rick Perry and Ted Cruz made the Top 5 after Obama, while Vice President Biden and Elizabeth Warren — who insists she's not running — also made the cut.

And 2014 may have been a big year for incoming Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, but the Kentucky Republican was not a top Google search. Harry Reid, the Democrat he's replacing in the Senate's top job, was Googled enough to nab the last spot in the Top 10.
