Yahoo! earns less than Google per search [1], has few other properties, is trashing its already-moribund brand and keeps growing its legal liabilities. Consider, too, the political/headline risk Verizon would inherit.

Yahoo! (like Twitter, in my opinion) may only find a buyer in that sort of financial purchaser who doesn't mind looking bad resurrecting corpses. Unfortunately, those bidders are notorious low ballers.
