Candace Bergen explains Sarah Palin's entry into Women on the Web's "Women of the Decade" list (slideshow of winners here).
"Sarah Palin became a force in the Republican party overnight. Because she is awesomely telegenic and shrewdly self-spinning."
Speaking of shrewdly self-spinning, Palin seems to be inching there when explaining why she clipped her Hawaiian vacation.
"Todd and I have since cut our vacation short because the incognito attempts didn't work and fellow vacationers were bothered for the two days we spent in the sun."
In other words, the media's still picking on me, and we didn't want normal vacationing folks to be affected by it.
