Ever since the morning after the election, my wife - a dedicated political news junkie - has had one question on her mind: Where are the "Thanks for voting"ads? Good question. For months, groups have been spending enormous amounts of money and time to try to get out the vote. Based on the numbers, and the lines at some polling places on election day, it looks like they did a pretty good job. So where are the ads thanking the 117 million Americans who did their part for democracy? Wouldn't it be great to see the chairmen of the Republican and Democratic Parties make a joint appearance and say "Thanks for voting," before they go off and bash each other some more? So far I've seen only one "thank you" ad - a full-pager in the Washington Post from MTV. At least there's one group that wants to hold on to any excitement they were able to generate about the process.
