...as she makes her pitch to go back to '1600 Paynsylvania Avuhnoo'
Hillary Clinton brought a pitch for women's issues to her first South Carolina campaign trip on Wednesday, but it was her reappearing Arkansas accent that caught much of the attention.
She lost the state to Barack Obama in 2008, part of the epic meltdown that drove her from heir-apparent down to also-ran.
But she appears to be more willing to play on race and gender politics this time around, leveraging relationships with minority female business owners in Columbia before an afternoon speech to Democratic women.
'I am running to live again at 1600 Paynsylvania Avuhnoo,' she drawled during that speech at a 'Day in Blue' event for Democratic women, bringing back a selectively applied drawl that accompanied her 30 years ago when she was the first lady of Arkansas.
She wore her own blue pantsuit for good measure.
Both of the nation's top Democrats have previously acquired southern accents when addressing southern black audiences.
Vice President Joe Biden, a Pennsylvania native and former Delaware senator, famously told an August 2012 campaign audience of mostly black Democrats in Danville, Virginia that Republicans wanted 'to put y'all back in chains.'
And President Obama shouted 'Where's yo' dollah?' two months later in a campaign speech, mimicking what he thought New Orleans residents would be asking the federal government about slow-walked relief money following hurricane Katrina.

She’s such an obvious phony. Too bad so many suckers would vote for her anyway.
I though elitists dems found southern accents cringeworthy and that anybody who uses one is an ignorant racist hick
If they weren’t the Clintons they would have been laughed out of politics long ago.
What phonies and crooks and despicable gangsters they are. It probably reflects their political base.
Hell, Gwyneth Paltrow, Madonna have faked English accents despite being born here. Why can’t the witch fake a southern one?
Personally, I’d make her eat a chicken and waffle sammich slathered in mayonnaise chased with a Budweiser to prove she’s Southern.
Did she use the Kerry line yet, “where kin I git me a huntn license in these parts”
She ain’t noways tarred.
I remember that episode. Wouldn't have surprised me if she'd had slipped into a riff, "Oy! The problems I have wit my husband! Ladies, you know vat I'm talkink about, am I right?"
“Whaya kin ah get me some day-um chicken frahd okra?”
Did she bring her vagina — I hear she has a vagina. Women and effeminate men should all vote for her because she has a vagina, haven’t you heard, she has a vagina.
I’m 100% Southern and believe me, that was no Southern accent.....she’s pathetic!
I ws going to post this:
Remember the restaurant sign that said:
The Hillary Special: All thighs, No Breasts.
But thought better of it.
Anyone who would do anything to let the Clinton Crime Family get anywhere the White House is mentally defective. Are you nuts? Are you not a student of history?
I ain’t no ways tired hearing of Miss Hillary’s new accent! I want a Yiddishe mama, next!

People in Arkansas do not speak with a “Southern” accent. Not in the NW corner, or Little Rock where I lived for several years.
Go to Mississippi to get that.
It ain’t “okra”...It’s “okry”
Reminds me of Jesse Jackson in overalls talking to farmers in Iowa. Totally out of place.
