Gore isn't a fresh face for president, and with two consecutive losses, even if he's the best overall choice, no one wants to see Gore lose it twice. Also, it's not set in stone that McCain would even be her opponent. There's still alot of grumblings about Gulianni(sp?) running for the Republicans.

Hillary's politics are not Bill's politics. Hillary is an extreme leftist who disguises herself as a moderate. Remember her Health Care Reform debacle? Americans do, and you can bet the Republicans will waste no time in exposing her socialist ideology. Better not pick her.
Even if Gore were a fresh face, the simple fact is that he is viewed as somewhat unstable and as an environmental extremist compared to other presidential hopefuls. He wouldn't stand a chance.
I think the Republican nominee will be either Bill Frist (I hope not) or Rudy Gulliani. McCain shot his future to hell and gone when he let his ego get out of control over Campaign Reform. I like the guy, but he hung himself politically, as GW demonstrated during the primary season. That being said, who knows who will arise? Carter came from nowhere for the Dems in '75. GW himself was not a well known national political figure until he organized his campaign just a couple of years before the 2000 election. Dark horses are out there.
