Thank god it's subtle. Because a thick Louisiana/Appalachian combo accent would be weird as hell.

Well, there's the whole issue of you not exaggerating it for effect like Ted Cruz does. I mean, your accent is just your accent. Ted Cruz's is some fake thing he crated to get votes "Howdy pardner, it's me, hard-working cow-poke Ted Cruz, just in off the dusty range, where I received a special message from our Lord, Jesus Christ, who told me I was bein' called upon to save America. Amen, y'all.*"

*delivered in a highly exaggerated twang, but also spoken an a nasally manner, like a Candian
