1/ Democrats are not smart enough for that. They cannot figure that there is a learning curve to become an effective candidate and that those two have already started the learning curve and would start way ahead of any other nominee (in addition to the fact they got more vote than any other democratic nominee ever). Interestingly, this is how all the other countries get great leaders and we do not: when a candidate loses not too badly, they continue to keep him as party leader and he learns.

2/ Unfortunately, I doubt that any of the two whould agree to be VP for the other one: Gore has already been VP for 8 years and can legitimately expect more. Kerry was ready for that 5 years ago, when Gore unfortunately chose Lieberman. What would he have to gain in that, and given the fact that Gore does not need somebody to do the job for him, as Bush does, how would Kerry be useful to Gore?
