"WaRshington" does McCain think that makes him sound like he's some kind of outsider?

cause that's a huge fail.

1. That drives me nuts, too.

Guy can't pronounce the name of the place he lives part of the time -- the place where that White House thingie is located.

i really think that he thinks it will make him sound like he's not a DC guy---which he is.

6. He's spent a heck of a lot more time in D.C. than Obama has..

no doubt about that. How can he honestly paint himself an outsider? He's lived there most of his life. Oh that's right, he doesn't care about honesty.

2. My Mom pronounces it that way too.

She's the only one in the family, though. Not sure where she picked that up, but she's always done it.

3. We Philadelphians say "Warshington". LOL

I was surprised to hear him pronouncing it like that - and some clip that I saw last night had him doing it very strongly too! It was right jarring! :rofl:

5. That's what I was thinking that's a Baltimore/Philly accent..n/t

4. Sounds forced when he says it.

Seems like he's being coached in little "folksy" things like that, but not about big things.

Big things like SPAIN, for example.
