[A CA Guy]

There were people who used uuuhhhhhhh when I was in New York as well, but mostly in grade school.
It is a bad habit, not a southern thing and he better get over it soon or someone will create a ten minute video of him going uuuhhhhhh uuuuuuhhhhhh uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh.

The guy is great, I want to see him win, but if I’m noticing it so will a bunch of other folks. It isn’t complimentary to his run for President.

Whose voice and mannerism is best so far?

Well I'm glad to see that you're on our side...

I think that a big part of Freds whole early campange problem has been his accent and delivery with a lot of throat clearing and such...but I also think that this is simply who Fred is and that people will figure this out...You cannot change who Fred is... live with it and know that a southern drawl is not a negative.....

Fred can and will win...

uhhhh, glad you have your priorities in the right place.

I'm curious whether you'd say the same things about Rush? On the same page with the Larry King interview is an audio clip from Rush. If you listen you'll hear him stammer and say "ahhh" quite often. In my experience it's a trait of those whose mind is working faster than they are able to get the words out.
