The Secret Service’s code name for Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) is “Denali,” reports The Washington Post.

Denali is also the name for a national park in Palin’s home state. The code name for her husband, Todd Palin, is “Driller.” In addition to being a champion snowmobiler, he has worked as an oil production operator.

Sen. Joe Biden’s (D-Del.) Secret Service code name is “Celtic,” according to Marc Ambinder. That’s likely a reference to Biden’s Irish heritage.

In case you were wondering, Barack Obama’s name is “Renegade,” Michelle Obama’s is “Renaissance,” John McCain’s is “Phoenix,” and Cindy McCain’s is “Parasol.”
