But why does palin have the accent she does? That is not an Alaskan accent is it? I have heard people up there talk and never noticed them sounding like her. She was born in Ohio, right? Was that Southern Ohio and did her parents speak like that? Just wondering. Somebody educate me. :)

By the way, I am from southern Illinois and use to speak with a sort of southern accent. I had my daughter when I lived in NYC and everyone loved that she spoke with the same accent. We left there before she was five, but before that the little Latina girl with the soft southern accent got a lot of attention.

But palin's accent is not soft. She reminds me of some people I know that I swear they use to shout from mountain top to mountain top. They were my friends, but when they hollered (and yes they hollered) down the street at me in my hometown days, I wanted to hide. Instead I turned and found them in the distance and waved. :7
