yeah, I agree. But, OTOH, Democrats portray themselves as the "party of ideas," intellectuals and academics, and socially tolerant/liberal people and that's who Silicon Valley and Google are, so there was a natural alignment between Obama and Google/SV. Also, it didn't hurt that most of Google's employees were relatively young and probably voted for Obama. And Obama was younger and his organization was more internet-savvy. Also, campaign contributions were no doubt involved.
