WHAT IS JOE BIDEN HIDING?

TRAIL MIX for Thursday: What's Up at Top Newspapers' Campaign Blogs?: "While the Secret Service does not generally publicize their code names chosen for those running for the highest offices in the land. Anne Kornblut of The Trail discovered that “Denali” (the name for the Alaska national park and preserve known for its mountains and wildlife) is their code name for Gov. Sarah Palin. Palin’s husband, Todd an oil slope worker, is known to the Secret Service as “Driller.” “Drill, baby, drill” is the informal McCain-Palin election chant. Obama is codenamed “Renegade,” and Michelle is “Renaissance” (selection of codenames for spouses often begin with the same letter). McCain is “Phoenix” and his wife Cindy is known to the Secret Service as “Parasol.” Interestingly enough the code name for Joe Biden is still unknown."

Marc Ambinder says it's one of these: Cobbler, Celtic, Carbon, Cat Wrangler, or Cantor.

My guess is either Cobbler (for his working class roots) or Cantor (for his... loquaciousness). Biden is Irish-American, but McCain's a Scot, so I'm not sure whey they'd pick Celtic. The other two are a bit silly.

But whatever it is, THE PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW. REVEAL BIDEN'S CODENAME, NOW!
