Sarah Palin (“Denali”)
When Sarah Palin was governor of Alaska, she had high hopes of making up the top post in government later on in her career. Her ambition eventually led her to the Republican nomination for vice presidency, and she was the first woman to do so. Her secret service code name refers to Alaska’s renowned national park, “Denali”. Now retired from politics, she might not have a secret service detail anymore, but she will always be remembered as someone who shook things up whenever she had the chance to.
Mitt Romney (“Javelin”)
Presidential hopefuls also get assigned secret service code names, and although it might seem like it sometimes, these names are not chosen without giving it a lot of consideration. The same goes for Mitt Romney, who was a presidential hopeful a couple of years ago. Because of the business his father ran, which built the first javelin, Mitt Romney ended up living in his shadow in a certain way. He was dubbed “Javelin” by the secret service, and the rest is history.
