I got curious and looked up SS codenames for Romney and Santorum.

Romney is Javelin and Santorum is Petrus.

Lame. I am amused by the overall lackluster of these names.

[DJ13]

1. Maybe Seamus and Foamy were taken?

[Serve The Servants]

2. Etch a Sketch & Sweater vest.

12. that made me laugh. thanx :)

[BlueIris]

3. Bwah!

I just find them kinda boring and ridiculous. Although I think it's possible that Meghan McCain wins the prize for the most absurd SS codename of all: Peter Sellers.

4. Ron and Michael Reagon are pretty good.

Ron Reagan - Reliant

Michael Reagan - Riddler

5. the fuzz have never been much for wit; or irony.

i think they'd rather go the Marquis de Sade route for their jollies.

but, i totally agree with you. a school kid could've come up with better descriptors.
otoh, neither of these cartoon mutants provide much spark for the imagination.

[Justice wanted]

6. If I heard correctly Santorum picked that name for himself I think it came from this:

7. Beautiful.

Now I've gone from amused to:

[Justice wanted]

8. sorry not my intent.

[beac]

26. "Dumb as a box of rocks" springs to mind as more fitting, whatever Frothy's original

intention.

9. AMC Javelin

Kind of funny

[alfredo]

11. Romney's dad laid off a bunch of AMC workers.

[rufus dog]

14. O.K. so....

His dad was a dick and his code name is from a failed auto manufacturer.

Not like they call him Mustang, or Camaro, or even Charger, his code name is a wannabe big boy muscle car, thus kind of funny.

[BlueIris]

15. I think both the names are hysterical.

Clunky, vaguely inappropriate, dorky as hell.

[alfredo]

17. Maybe the SS does have a sense of humor.

Actually, the Javelin had some success on the road racing circuit (Trans Am).

22. The Javelin was after Romney left AMC. A more appropriate name would have been "rambler". Also, some

of the Dick Teague era cars are pretty awesome, like the AMX.

[Rincewind]

10. And Newty is

Jaba.

[deadinsider]

13. HA! nt

[GreydeeThos]

16. Romney should be called "Javelin Catcher"

[HopeHoops]

18. Flipper and Frothy

[Tom Ripley]

19. I'm surprised that they are not Bishop and Pawn

[BlueIris]

25. Hah! nt

[Yavin4]

20. W's Nickname is Tumbler

Yep. Pretty much nails it.

[Erose999]

21. Here's my suggestions: Romney: Rambler Santorum: Pacer Newt: Gremlin

[meow2u3]

23. Here I was thinking they were Dog-on-roof and Man-on-dog

[Arkana]

24. What, C3P0 was taken?
