TALLY-HASSLE--I've seen this a few times this week for Tallahassee, Florida.

CONDO COMMANDOS--There have been about 20 Dow Jones cites the past month.
>From an obituary for Anne Ackerman, 75, that ran in the LOS ANGELES TIMES,
5-3-1989:

   Her political friends included President Jimmy Carter, fellow Democrats
Walter Mondale and Michael S. Dukakis, and nearly every well-known Democratic
politician in Florida.
   Ackerman successfully roused retirees out of political apathy and
mobilized them into powerful voting blocs.  Famed for turnouts ranging more
than 90%, they were dubbed "condo commandos."
