Libs now join the military solely so they can run for office. But this guy is an embarrassment! Reminds me of when Rick Perry filmed himself wearing tight jeans and spreading hay around the stable.

It's amazing to what extent people will go for pandering.

How many times do we have to tell these goofs that a true Virginia accent is NOT a down home Southern Accent.

It is a more gentle sound with some English overtones. One can hear it more in the elderly ladies who reminisce about their “mathers when they wah small guls.”

Well, I guess to a northerner, we all look, sound and act alike.

How to borrow a truck. LOL

“Charlottesville Friends, I am in need of an old Ford pickup truck for a few hours next week,” wrote Kevin Zeithaml. “Does anyone in the Charlottesville area have one that they would be willing to let me snag for a few hours at the end of next week? No Chevy or GMC need apply.”

It's more complicated than that!

My maternal grandmother was very proud of her Virginia roots, she was Tidewater VA and Charleston SC. The Tidewater accent is the one with the soft "o"s and elided "r"s and the transformation of "house" to "hoose" - almost Scots in sound.

C'ville is so far west that it's really in the Appalachian foothills. Minus all the riff raff from all over who show up because of the university, it's more conventionally "mountainy" in sound - more twang and Elizabethan vowels.

Still not the generalized Piedmont accent that you hear on TV.

Oh, I know it is! My accent is Tidewater. Relatives from the Roanoke area sound decidedly different from me and my spouse’s.

My personal peeve is the broad, deep South intonations which give Northerners the faulty impression that everyone who has a drawl is stupid.

Being a DC metro denizen, I have run into that particular prejudice many times over.

Remember, McLame was a carpetbagger in Arizona.

McPain is not more an Arizonan than this Huffstetler is a Virginian.

Politicians shopping for an empty seat they might win so they can spend their careers sucking off the government teat.

It's all about them, not their constituents.

Gee, and I thought his daddy was the commander of that YUGE Naval Shipyard in Scottsdale.

I wonder if the DNC is placing their people, like this one, in other places around the nation. It seems they have identified this district as one they can control. Are there more.
