Simply put, Al Gore picked Joe Lieberman for VP in 2000 because Lieberman was the most significant Democrat to speak out against the deplorable behavior of the President, Bill Clinton, and believed the choice of Lieberman would distance himself as far as possible from the reprobate President.
Not a conservative Democrat, but Gore could have picked Senator Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia for VP, which would not have cost Gore any of the states he did win, and would have assured a Gore win in West Virginia, and therefore would have put Gore into the White House.
