[edit] Five relevant Wiki Categories found

I have found and added five relevant Wiki Categories for this article; with "Good Intentions," I will now remove the Categorization tag. We can all discuss this here, on the talk page. By the way--I would love it if this list could be expanded. What were U.S. Vice Presidents called? Al Gore once joked on the David Letterman Show that he was so boring that, "My Secret Service codename is Al Gore." ProfessorPaul 02:06, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Ooo, source that, that should be added! --UsaSatsui 04:04, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
  • That joke was on The West Wing too. The Vice President Bob Russell joked that he was so boring that his Secret Service codename was Bob Russell...

I added a few from a book I have ( I like "cobweb" and "pacemaker")...I hope I sourced it right. I'm also wanting to see this article expand, but we should make sure that everything is properly sourced. I also want to find something on the practice of the names, whether the people involved get a say in them, just how secret are they, and so on. I also tried to make it clear a lot of these names aren't in use anymore. --UsaSatsui 04:04, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Can we get some of these "fictional" ones sourced? Good additions, but the more sources we have, the better we can survive future AfD's --UsaSatsui 03:29, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
  • I reformatted things a little bit. If it sucks, change it back, but I think that people who are related should be grouped together (like FLOUTSes with thier Presidents). Anyways, let's get some more here. This list is getting interesting. Also, if someone can find some information on the codenames (the history of the names, any significance to them), let's do it, make this more than "just a list". --UsaSatsui 10:05, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What is McCain's codename?

I've read online the suggestion "Phoenix." (Really don't see how it could be beat, since it analogizes so well with his having been a Navy flyer, being from Arizona, and rising from the dead during the campaign.)--Justmeherenow (talk) 20:43, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
