Re: Democratic Primary
It is actually TN and TX. Ohio has a "lack of an accent". There is definitely a difference between standard Midwestern (non-accent like Michigan, OH, Central IL, IA) and northern Midwest (you ever hear of the Uppers?). I think most of America thinks it just sounds uneducated. Fargo is a great example... Granted... this is my opinion. I'd love a study that links general ideas of what a person is like based on their accent... I'm sure there is one, but I have to do SOME work today...

Re: Democratic Primary
I think most American accents tend to make people sound uneducated, whether that be a Texas southern drawl, the mid-western Fargo, the lilting "always a question" California, a hard New Yawk or BAHston accent, or "Bawlmer"-ese. I know it has no real bearing at all, but I think most folks have that auditory bias.

Re: Democratic Primary
DAMN! Auditory Bias? That is some triple-letter word points right there!!! haha
I actually agree. Until I moved south, I always just associated a southern accent with Jerry Spring guests. My wife has a pretty southern accent, so she wouldn't put up with me if I still felt that way. People from the UP sound dumb... and you will never change my mind on that haha.
I think Kennedy ROCKED the Bahston accent pretty hard. Then Matt Damon linked it to being a genius... I'm not sure people generally view that as a bad one... like I said, I'd love to see a general study on it and the results. It would be really interesting."Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else." -Margaret Mead

Re: Democratic Primary
I'm not offended at all.
Since Wicked bought him up, Foxworthy has an entire spiel on the southern accent not sounding too bright.
