Absolutely. I wouldn't say every state has its own specific accent but you could clump them together in groups that would get you to at least like 35 or so very noticeable (to us Americans at least) different accents among the 50 states. Maybe even more. There is a big clump of the midwest states, like where Bobbie is on the edge of, that do kinda sound the same with just some minor regional differences. And of course there are lots of ethnic differences in accents too.
