3. I am sorry but there is no way in hell...

There is no way in hell that this woman can be a heartbeat away from the office of President of the United States of America. As I always say when I'm mad "ahh hell nawl!" - that's my Tarheel kick ass spirit coming out.

Not in my America. I can't wait to knock on more doors this week to canvass for the Obama/Biden campaign.

4. So what happened in 20 years that made her go from a relatively neutral accent

To, "All right den, you betcha!"

8. Her accent isn't an affectation

Listen to her say words like "today" in that clip. Her current accent is thicker than it was, but you can totally hear the basic characteristics of it. I think she worked really hard on burying it when she did TV work back then, but when she went into politics, it was just way too hard to talk like that 24-7 (at church, at the grocery store, at the library, during speeches to every organization in the area, etc.), like how Howard Stern says that he's only Howard Stern on the radio and not like that all the time because it's too exhausting to play a character all the time.

6. Does it look like her left eye turns in?

Or is it just me? May be why she wears glasses now instead of contacts.

7. Ha, I posted the same thing in the comments section

I think she looks a bit cross eyed.
