What does it matter how he pronounces his name? Pronunciation is normally from the parents, not from oneself. This isn’t about being a country boy, this is about being mature. Reverse snobbery isn’t anything to be proud of.

If he wins, then you KNOW that the MSM and entertainment world will be attacking him and making fun of his name a lot, during his entire duration as RNC Chair. “Some spoiled white, male, rich brat...” The left will use his name as a distraction from how well he will, hopefully, do as RNC Chair.

Actually, I don't really care...it was a damned joke, if you can believe it. I don't know him from Adam. That said, I'd much prefer someone from the South because I know where they come from and how they at least could have been brought up. Someone from Maine, Minnesota, Michigan - anywhere up there is totally foreign and automatically suspect in my book....just look at Mitt.
