Secret Service code names for Romney and Santorum revealed: Javelin and Petrus | The Ticket - Yahoo! News

President Obama's Secret Service code name, chosen during his 2008 presidential campaign, is "Renegade." Michelle Obama's code name is "Renaissance," while Malia and Sacha go by "Radiance" and "Rosebud," respectively.Obama's opponent in the 2008 election, Sen. John McCain, was "Phoenix," a nod to his home state. McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin, was "Denali."
While GOP rivals Romney, Santorum and Gingrich enjoy Secret Service protection, Ron Paul told Jay Leno on Tuesday that he wouldn't take the security offer.


"It's a form of welfare, having the taxpayers take care of somebody and I'm an ordinary citizen," Paul said. "I should pay for my own protection."

Alright - forget most of the article - I read to the bottom and I lost it laughing.
 
Paul is always good for a laugh. Thank god for libertarians, they make the rest of our little quirks look sane.
 
"Javelin," the magazine notes, could refer to a vintage muscle car manufactured by American Motors Corporation, where Romney's father, George, was once chairman.

Guess he didn't want to be "Gremlin."
 
He should've went with "Goldfinger"
 
I'm so glad that Ron Paul will never reach the presidency. America vitally needs him to operate where is now, as a comedian :2razz:
 
I guess flipper was too obvious a code name for Romney.
