All great politicians suffer defeat once or twice.
It builds character. Clinton, Reagan, Bush Jr., Kerry, Gore, Nixon, etc. Usually, losing gives them much stronger understanding and drive when they try the next time.

Gore will probably enter the race if Dean starts running away with it. Unless the DNC Clinton types have another strategy up their sleeve. It wont be Hillary, I can tell you that. But let's not assume Dean is going that far. His popularity may be limited to the very liberal wing of the party.

BTW: If Gore had chosen a better running mate he would have won. Graham for instance, or Kerry. Not many people admit it but Lieberman was a real drag on the ticket. He had zero charisma and was a fuddy-duddy. Gore actually DID win though, remember. He just should never have let it get that close. He made several key mistakes. He would never make those again. If Kerry stumbles, Gore-Clark may be what you see at the brokered convention. Gore could instantly get the majority of the party behind him if Dean is the only other choice. And he is the one man who deserves it even if he doesn't run. I don't see Dean ever geting more than 35% of the party behind him.
