Reply #20: There's smart jumping and then there's crazy jumping

[Armstead]

I believe if one positions themselves as a candidate representing a significant element of the Democratic base in a presidential race, he should be smarter in how he chooses to jump.

He jumped the shark in a good way in 2002-03, when he went out on the limb to declare that there were no WMD's in Iraq.

But even bringing up the possibility of Ron Paul at this point was crazy jumping.
