Subliminal Messaging For '08?
Around this time in the election cycle, presidential candidates always answer the '08 questions with something like, "I'll decide after the midterms," or "Never look past the next election." They typically keep their distance from the '08 label to keep the press pumping on their potential candidacy.
Not Gov. Bill Richardson. The DGA head took a less subtle approach in the most recent fundraising email sent out on the Democratic Governor's Association listserv:
The slogan, "I won't wait for '08...neither should you," is part of the DGA's midterm appeal to raise money for 36 Governor's races across the country. The idea is supporters shouldn't wait for a Presidential election and instead donate to Governors this year. But while the message is from the DGA, the picture says a thousand words about Richardson [SHIRA R. TOEPLITZ].

I got the same message and didn't read it that way -- maybe because I've seen the same logo with other Democratic governors' pictures on it. It really is important to focus on winning *this* year, because things have gotten so bad with GOP leadership.
That's why I gave $36 to help with governors' races in 36 states.
