What’s up with nuc-u-lar?

We just interviewed a Congressional candidate, a Republican, who pronounced nuclear "nuc-u-lar" instead of the proper pronunciation. Listen here.

What's up with the mispronunciation? It is it a Republican thing? (He wasn't the first candidate who mispronounced it this endorsement season. But they have all been Republican.)

So we're throwing it out there for discussion. Is it nuc-u-lar or this pronunication. Listen again.

A Matter of Opinion is really a matter of three opinions – those held by the people responsible for the opinion pages of The Spokesman-Review. Check in regularly to find out what they’re up to, what they think and where they differ and to joust with them if you want.
