Take your pick.

Answer 2

Theoretically, anyone's name can be put into nomination, but it would be useless because the nomination would probably die from lack of a second. Clinton, Dodd, Edwards, and Richardson all picked up a committed delegate or two, so they could conceiveably be nominated. Gore and Kerry did not run, so no one would think of it.

  

Answer 3

Neither Gore nor Kerry were running this time around.

I guess a case could be made for Edwards, Richardson, etc. to have their names placed in nomination as well... but they didn't get as many votes during the primary season, and there's no real need to mollify their supporters.
