Had there been no Sarah Palin, there would now be no Joni Ernst. It is second-generation Sarah Palin, and Palin created mastered the political genre. But as Palin brought an earthy challenge to the "establishment," roughly meaning Washington and New York and Hollywood (you could include academia), she likewise defined herself in opposition to it. In that regard, she actually reimagined America as East and West, much as Andrew Jackson did, declaring, in effect, that this is where the challenges lie ahead for America. As population and economy move west of the Mississippi, the demographics bear her out.
This new generation busting out with Ernst is more self-confident than aggressive. It is America talking to its own now in the middle and the middle is large.Palin has done much in shaping a future for conservative politics in America.

“Palin has done much in shaping a future for conservative politics in America”
Too bad she has stuck her nose in the GA senate race and is pushing a moderate over two hard right conservative candidates.
