i don,t want to rain on anyones parade,but i recall very similar words, statements,etc ,coming from R.N. and we all know what happened there.i personally don't think anyone can be certain one way or the other what will transpire,and as usual we the s.h. will be the last to find out ,there is probably alot of behind closed doors stuff going on that we will never hear of until it is all over .Utill then it is the usual hurry up and wait game .
It's the "News Soon" that I'm interested in, not really whether or not he's feeling optimistic.
