Remember how Yahoo exec Brad Garlinghouse, in his now-famous "peanut butter manifesto," complained Yahoo, under former CEO Terry Semel, spread its resources too thin over too many projects and too many ideas? Turns out Semel doesn't just have trouble picking business projects to fund.. The man is just as unable to pick a presidential candidate to believe in. According to the Huffington Post's new FundRace 2008, Semel donated to three different Democratic candidates in 2007. He spent $4,600 each on Tom Vilsack and Hilary Clinton in the first quarter and then another $2,300 on Barack Obama in the second. The candidacy of Vilsack, Semel's first choice, proved as successful as, oh, say, Semel proégé Lloyd Braun's career at Yahoo. (Photo by AP)
