FLASHPOINT for Oct 06, 2006

Friday, Oct. 6, 2006 | 7:43 a.m.

At this point, no matter how annoying some people might find it, it is not more irritating than hearing people talk about it. Especially when they say they can't vote for a candidate for the state's most important office because of it. It is state Sen. Dina Titus' heavy Georgia accent, still intact after all these years. I cannot tell you how many people mention it - in a negative way. It's a real issue. Which is incredible. I understand people respond to the shallowest stimuli in campaigns - demagoguery about voting records or platforms. But an accent? How can this actually be? People will vote against Titus because of her accent. If you are one of these rocket scientists, please call or e-mail and defend yourself.
