Because after consecutive election defeats by the Nixons and Reagans, the Democrats had to make room for new leadership.  So, they cleared legislators like Gore, Biden and Gephardt to make room for new leadership.  The republicans had to do it in 1964 so the Dems had to do it in 1972, 1988, and 2000.
