Barry's great, but I wonder if he's been swindled a little with this prediction. Isn't it the job of people in DC to predict they are going to win every battle, all the time? One would expect people who are on his side to predict great success, and to be very persuasive about it, because it is the best way to get undecideds to jump on the bandwagon.

But I wasn't there, and Barry's a bright guy, this is just speculation.
