Didn't Sarah Palin grow up in - and presumably learn to speak English in -
the midwest?

If  there's such a thing as an Alaskan accent, it sounds on Palin a lot
like  the Upper Midwest, a more subtle version of the actress Frances
McDormand  in the movie "Fargo."

Palin regularly and seemingly deliberately rounds  off words that end in
"g" -- the economy is "hurtin' " and needs "fixin.' "  After McCain
answered a question the other night, she asked, "Can I add  somethin'?"
