Does Sarah Palin sound like she's from Minnesota?

Question

I'm just watching her speech online now and she sounds like she's got a Minnesotan accent. Do Alaskan's have that accent?

Answer 1

She sounds like an airhead schoolgirl...

Answer 2

Haha, I was actually thinking about that last night. She has a more of a Wisconsin accent though.

Answer 3

oh yaaah, yer darned tootin' she does.

Answer 4

I'm from minnesota there's NO MINNESOTA ACCENT get it through your thick skull

Answer 5

nah. dare dust wed-necks up dare. ung..K?

Answer 6

haha! she sure does! "dontchaknow"

Answer 7

I think it is just a Northwestern accent that varies slightly by state. People from Mass. sound similar to those from Maine, etc.

Answer 8

its possible the accent is similar considering the close proximaty to Canada and  that frozen tundra  area takes a certain person.  

Answer 9

You betcha!

Answer 10

Her parents are from Idaho so I would assume she picked up some of their accent.

Answer 11

I was thinking Michigan as well.  Kind of a bizzare mix between the two.

Answer 12

It was straight out of the movie Fargo! (which stunk by the way).  I'm not sure if Alaskan's have that accent.

Answer 13

that is actually one of the first things I noticed about her last night when I was watching the speech.  I have always been good at picking up accents almost immediately and I could tell that she definitely has a north minnesotan one. :D

Answer 14

I live in St. Paul, MN and I would say yes, she definitely has an accent.  I don't know anyone here who quite has that twang. I'm guessing rural North Dakota.
