I was surprised to see how much of my accent actually favors the midwest and south! Which is fine by me, because in my deepest heart I think I am a misplaced cracker.

I think if they had asked how you pronounce the "graham" of "graham cracker", that would have put me more firmly in Yankee territory.

and what is the yankee pronunciation of graham?

Perhaps there should be a Midwest category.

Is this text Dixie squewed? Here in Texas I'm always introduced as the Californian and then people nod and say ah, as though that explained everything.
