Nicknames & Codenames

Ah the amuzement of Secret Service Codenames

Morning Briefing: The Table Is Set for Kerry: "Mr. Kerry is 'Minuteman,'' presumably a reference to his Boston heritage. John Edwards is 'Speedway,'' named for the place where those highly desirable white male voters, NASCAR Dads, congregate. And Teresa Heinz Kerry is 'Mahogany' (no derivation supplied).
On the other side, the National Journal reports, President Bush is 'Trailblazer,'' named for one of his favorite activities at his Texas ranch. His wife, Laura, is 'Tempo,'' derivation also uncertain. Their twins Jenna and Barbara are 'Twinkle' and 'Turquoise.' "
