Has Barney Nearly Become the Main Character?

"Dad, when are you going to tell us about our mother?" "Oh... you see... I couldn't ignore those legendary Barney stories now, could I?"

A few days ago, when I was lying in bed waiting for my brain to give me a break and let me fall asleep, I thought about what some fans have considered: that How I Met Your Mother is now really about Barney and his story. The latest seasons have indeed given more story time for Barney, and in many cases less for Ted, the main character of the show. But could we go so far as to say that Barney is close to, if not already has, becoming the main character?
