although she's likely trying to self medicate something she should have seen a doctor about decades ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypomania

It explains a lot about taking 5 colleges to complete an easy baccalaureate, about her impulsivity, about her inability to follow tasks through to completion, her word salad/flight of ideas in her too rapid speech. I've thought this since the first time I saw her on You Tube, going off script and trying to extemporize.

She might be a reasonable woman had she seen a doctor instead of trying to pray and/or self medicate it away.

Blunt has all the big money Koch backers which is why his ad ran across the bottom of this vid ON DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND no less. Didn't think repubs could campaign on this site but I guess if you have enough money the media is your whore.. If you live in MO vote Kander a progressive democrat.

did you by some small chance heed this advice with your son Track, because your line of "thoughtful connotative reasoning" and the jumping around on subject matter really calls into questions your ability to speak to anyone about anything, so for the public good lets revisit two commercials that you may have missed, while you were up there looking out unto the shiny sea trying to find Russia, where you were perched in the McDonald's parking lot

It's like she's sinking into a haze and unable to keep her thoughts about her. I agree with the host here, it's like she's sinking into a chemical dependence of some kind. Abusing prescription pain killers or something? I knew a victim of undiagnosed Lyme Disease whose brain had been attacked by the spirochetes. She was a generally intelligent person, but in the middle of a conversation would just sort of drift away, unable to focus or organize her thoughts, very much like Palin. If she spends any time around white-tailed deer (she is a hunter) it's possible she's had a case of Lyme Disease that's gone undiagnosed and untreated.

Tip for Sarah: 'Don't figure out what you are going to say while be filmed.'

Regardless, her concepts are disastrous.

It's been apparent to most of us for a long time. Those word salad rants clearly don't emerge from unaided.

This sort of smug, better than thou, approach, which include mocking the obviously mentally impaired, is not going to help the Clinton campaign in the long run.
I'm not fan of Palin or her party, but this little twerp is not winning me over to Clinton either.
If the Dems are going to crawl down in the gutter and take to sniping, then they no more deserve to win than the Repubs do.

To blame Palin's behavior on being drunk only gives her an out for being who she is.

Like my friends' grandmother used to say, when she did something stupid - "bless your little heart".

Sarah Palin - bless her little heart.
