Democrats wouldn't want to select an heir apparent when too many of them (in the Senate anyway) consider themselves to be a future contender... and Republicans wouldn't want to tee up someone who would help beat them.

Add in the fact that there would be no Senate tie-breaker in that scenario... and we might not even get a VP.
