I don't think he has an accent, but I've never heard anyone pronounce pasta like that before.

Whenever people talk about Sarah Palin's accent they say she sounds like she's from MN. Does this get on people from MN's nerves?

I don't hear an accent in the first video. He seems to talk like everyone I know. That said, I live in Willmar, which really isn't that far from Morris...

I can hear an accent in the second video.

Not really, it is what it is. She sounds and looks like every other dork middle aged professional up here - Stupid hair style, stupid dark framed glasses, and stupid anecdotes. And her accent is spot-on.

The accent is going away, just like many regional accents in the USA. The New Orleans creole, the thick west Texas twang, etc.

I think Palin's ancestors settled in AK after coming from MN.
