Could this unite the country, and bring about a renaissance of civility?

Bush could nominate anyone he wanted (which probably wouldn't be Gore), but the congress would have to ratify it under the 25th Amendment. Happened with Gerald Ford. In 1972, Spiro Agnew was elected VP on Nixon's ticket, but had to resign. Nixon nominated Ford as his replacement, and the congress (the Senate) ratified it.
Situations where the President is from one party and the VP from another have a bad track record in the US. Look at what happened with the Lincoln\Johnson "Union" ticket. When Lincoln died, Johnson nearly unravelled all that had been gained with the Union's victory.

I wish I knew so I could answer you properly. But I do know that there have been Presidents who have had vice-presidents from the opposing party. Unless I'm mistaken Abraham Lincoln's vice-president was one such. Of course it almost always occurs before the election.

Legally, yes. But this wouldn't happen. Even if it did, the two wouldn't get along and there would be no benifit. Bush would end up getting his way because he is the one who can sign and veto bills.
