Tourism, for instance, has made a spectacular comeback, especially form North America. With prices dropping there can be real and sustained growth in that area.

Inward investment, especially from the U.S., has also held up well and may well increase if the euro problem can be solved early in the New Year.

That remains to be seen, and it is the shadow overhanging the world economy right now.

Here in the U.S. we will have what will almost certainly be a closely contested presidential election.
With 40% hardcore GOP and 40% hardcore Democrats, it will be up to the 20% in the middle to decide the race as has become usual.

In key states like Pennsylvania and Ohio it is the Irish Catholic vote which plays a huge role in deciding who the winner of those states will be.

Right now, while voters are unhappy with President Obama, they are hardly enamored of the Republican field either. Their ultimate decision will likely decide who the next president is.
To all our readers and advertisers, a very happy holiday season and great New Year in 2012!
