Which presidential candidates have cultivated their accents?

In recent years I'd certainly saw George W. Bush (to sound more like a Texas cowboy) and Sarah Palin (folksy Minnesota accent).

Not sure about Bobby Jindal.

On the Democratic side, I've seen Obama put on a more African American accent at times.

Let’s not forget Hillary and her southern drawl, when it is in front of a southern audience. Phony as hell.

Oh yeah, it's completely unrealistic for someone who lived in Arkansas for decades to have a southern accent.

I can turn my accept on and off depending on who I am talking to - most people can. Not a big deal for anyone, Republican or Democrat, it is just what people do.

She moved to Arkansas as an adult (almost thirty) and lived there for less than twenty years. She hasn't lived there since 1992. Fake.

I assume it is your intention to start a Hillary bashing thread.

The fact is that people subconsciously mimic people when they are trying to empathize with them. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1300949/You-subconsciously-try-mimic-accent-person-speaking-researchers-find.html

So you can call it fake, or you can accept the science that suggests this is a marker for empathy.

Hillary's is the worst...."I ain't no ways tired." Insulting- does she think we don't see through this crap?

Yes. That is exactly what she thinks.
