Poll
What do you think of John McCain's selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate?



RED FLAG: Although its growth rate remains impressive, Google's earnings missed analyst estimates and CEO Eric Schmidt acknowledged the economic climate is "challenging."

REACTION: Google shares shed more than 7 percent as investors realized the Internet search leader may not be immune to effects of the ailing U.S. economy.

RAMIFICATIONS: This could foreshadow even worse news from Yahoo Inc., which ranks a distant second to Google in Internet advertising and needs to post a big second quarter next Tuesday to fend off a shareholder rebellion being led by activist investor Carl Icahn.
