There's a lot more than one southern accent. Someone from the Carolinas sounds wholly different from Floridian which sounds different from Texan which sounds different from Oklahoma which sounds different from Louisiana and I think you're getting the picture. I've heard more than one person with that accent of his.

They modelled the accent on the writer/producer's father: http://www.hitfix.com/whats-alan-watching/house-of-cards-sta....

I obviously can't speak to how well they nailed it, but there was a very specific accent in mind.

Thanks for posting that. It seems they were more interested in enhancing the dialog by adding rhythmic lilt rather than being concerned about producing something that is authentic.
