11. Probably not, but isn't it delicious to imagine the code names?

Especially when you read this from CBS during the 2008 election:

The military-run White House Communications Agency comes up with the names in coordination with the Secret Service.

Here's a look at the code names the candidates and their spouses have been given. Note that each couple's names start with the same letter.

John McCain - Code name: Phoenix

Cindy McCain - Code name: Parasol


Other pairs from 2008:

Obamas: Renegade/Renaissance
Bidens: Celtic/Capri
Palins: Denali/Driller

So... given that it'd be the WH Communications Agency coming up with the code names, not the candidates themselves (although their own suggestions for monikers are pretty hilarious and/or revealing....) what could we expect?

I'll start off with the Walkers, as a bye-bye, don't let it hit'cha, gesture: Limburger/Lollipop

I'm sure everyone here has some suggestions for others....

provocatively,
Bright
