Now comes the lighter side of the bumpy Republican presidential campaign.
The New York Daily News reports that GQ magazine has revealed the Secret Service code names for candidates Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum.
The paper reported that Romney chose the name “Javelin”. The paper reported that some speculated the name came from a 1960s muscle car made by American Motors, which Romney’s father George headed up.
The paper reported that Santorum picked “Petrus,” which means “rock” in Latin.
It’s too bad the Secret Service doesn’t let candidates pick their opponents’ names. Now that would be interesting.
