I have to agree with Cecelia, being in upper-est bit of the U.P. of Michigan right now. Her accent is pretty much a light Yooper. (Hi from another Michigander!)

That is NOT a Minnesota accent!

Hoooo, man. Like Cara I came down with a nasty cold last night (feels like someone took a cheese grater to my throat) and I’m so glad I didn’t have the opportunity to participate in this.

Jill, this drinking game was just mean. You wacky people.

The accent is a Midwestern accent from the “northwoods.” The northwoods are anything in northern Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota. Ontario also has this accent. Anyone you know from Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota or Ontario says, “you know,” quite a lot in any conversation. As someone residing in Michigan currently I say “you know” all the time when I am talking, lol! The accent is stronger the further north you go it seems! :-)

When he choked up, I choked up. That was just too real, deep and sudden. When he gets passionate, you can feel it.

OH FUCK. BIDEN CHOKED UP.

This will be a landslide.

I’m such a girl (I say this ironically, of course!), but I swear that will be the main thing I remember about him from this debate. It was the most genuine moment of the whole debate. And then the wonderfully insensitive, and awkward, awkward segue into “Maverick!” or whatever Palin was babbling about… ^^ That was just *cold* sounding.

I vote that next time around, Ryan live-blogs the debate. Ryan, you down?

Regular NBC thought Palin ‘did well’. I’d like to know what they were smoking.

Biden had the facts; Palin had the valley-girl winks.

And yeah, if I had drunk to “maverick,” I’d be trashed now …
