Everyone has an accent to their region, I was listening to something on H>V last night set in Canada and all the people spoke in the same type of accent as Sarah Palin, one thing they do is end each sentence in an up pitch, almost like a question mark. Because Sarah speaks with an Alaskan accent does not make her stupid or a ditz, in fact I am learning from reading comments from people who worked with her that this is one very bright woman,..
Of course she is bright. Her problem is that she does not have the academic credentials to prove it, as Obama does. IAC. she is in my opinion the most affective stump speaker around, but she does not speak the academeese that allows Obama to impress even the conservative media. They ascribe a depth to his speeches that I do not see. What they responding to is less the lyrics than the music. Obama sings arias while Palin belts out songs.
