Romney's Secret Service Codename is...

Javelin

Some say it's because his dad used to run American Motors and the Javelin was a car manufactured by them in the 70's.

I think it's Javelin because he and it are skinny, lightweight pricks

It would freeze up after I parked it and I would have to crawl under the car and yank on the whatevers down there so I could get it into first gear and get to work or home or day care in the ice and snow, on hills, . . . Life as a single mom. That was brutal.

"Javelin" or "Gremlin?"

gremlin [ˈgrɛmlɪn]
n
1. (Military) an imaginary imp jokingly said to be responsible for malfunctions in machinery
2. any mischievous troublemaker

I vote "Gremlin."
