Does Palin's accent have anything to do with the close polls in Minnesota?

If that seems an odd question to be asking, think of it this way: If the 1992 Democratic nominee had looked exactly like Bill Clinton, espoused the same policies but sounded more like a Brooklyn native than someone from Dixie, would the Democrats have carried Kentucky, Louisiana and Georgia that year? The most recent RCP averages give Obama a mere 2.8 percent edge in MN. Before the conventions, the Obama lead was right aroound 5 percent. At one point in early Sept., right after Palin's speech, the lead was about 1 percent. Interesting food for thought...

There was a contestant on America's Next Top Model who had the exact accent.
