Let's not forget "Schmidt was an informal advisor and major donor to Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, and began campaigning the week of October 19, 2008, on behalf of the candidate." [2]
I'm sure some people internal [to Google] know more about this, but from my understanding there was a push to use internal technologies (ads/etc) as a force for campaigning...

I am for some reason under the impression that Dems are more favorable for the tech sector, since they're relatively more lax on security, and that the American right tends do be somewhat anti-tech to please the older demographic (examplary anecdata is that /r/the_Donald have a serious beef with Google and Facebook)
It's very possible that the causality is reversed and the right is reacting to a tech's Democratic bias.
I wonder if this is somewhat based in reality or just my wrong hunch.
