| Description | The Republican nominee for an Ohio U.S. Senate seat started speaking in a southern accent Tuesday while defending the coal industry during a rally with Mitt Romney.
Ohio State Treasurer Josh Mandel, challenging Sen. Sherrod Brown (D), adopted the accent for part of his speech during the rally with Romney in Beallsville, in mountainous eastern Ohio near the West Virginia border, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported. Mandel used the speech to defend the coal industry from what he said are attacks from both coasts and from President Barack Obama. He said coal critics would not succeed "over our dead bodies."
The Cincinnati Enquirer said Mandel had not spoken in a southern accent before. Mandel hails from Lyndhurst, a Cleveland suburb near Lake Erie, far from the Appalachian part of the state. |
