(22,004 posts)Keeping it simple for the uninformed is a good message, I guess, even though its a bit insulting to the rest of us.

(22,004 posts)And I resent that the Lincoln Project thinks they do. I'm betting they have never been to KY.
But they do know Mitch, I'll give them that.

(1,400 posts)but what do i know? i'm from chicago. we think we dont have an accent.
My cousins outside of Owensboro do...... my Aunt in Sacramento does as well as my ex-step grandmother from Harlan county and my sister in Mount Washington too. I don't think I do but I've lived in Michigan and Colorado for most of my life and am told I have a "southernish" accent.

(6,795 posts)That is exactly how the "refined", "southern style" Kentucky people like to think they sound. Texanish (which is, I think, the imitators origin) is an imitation. The true Kentucky accent is not so smoooooth and more likely to be punctuated with harder "r's" and multi-syllabled middles and twangy endings to words.
But you're right, Bayard, it is an un-imformative message. Won't matter a whit in Kentucky where voters there may just be getting a bit put out with their place as the butt of so many well-deserved jokes. They WILL swallow their pride and vote Democrat if they blame McConnell for their shame.
