But if history is any indicater, 8 year sitting VP's are given a shot to run for President by their Party if they want it. And if we are not restricting the list to people that Gore knew well and was comfortable with (since you say Lieberman doesn't fit that criteria) then there were a host of Senators and Governors, and possilby others, who Gore could have drafted to run with him in 2000, and to be honest, coming out of 8 years of relative Peace and Prospertiy I don't think Gore would have needed to nail down a single state with his pick had his campaign been run better.

But I seem to have misunderstood your original post about who you were calling stupid, lol. I still disagree with you, but you present a solid case.
