True, but he stated - and has clearly meant it - that he had no interest in the job. Despite repeated interest by candidates in him being a VP candidate, he has still had no interest.

Thing there, however, is I doubt he'd have gotten the nomination. He's about as far left as Repubs get - remember, he supported Obama in 2008 and 2012. Even if he were nominated, he would have had to have some far-right person for the lower half of the ticket. Think of a more "right" Palin.

Thing with Gore there, he did not run in the 1992 primaries, and Brown placed a very strong second. Bet on him being perceived as too much like Clinton as well, and getting some unjustified blame for the loss. As for Brown's age... man was just elected governor again in 2012 - matters little. Gore is only a decade younger than him, anyway.
