Getting a sponsor for an Anand-Kasparov match should not be that difficult,I bet sponsors would jump at it.As to whether Kasparov should qualify or jump straight to the Championship is another matter but Kaspy has enough pull to achieve this.

Kasparov has been in retirement for sometime and might have lost his edge. He lost his WC to Kramnik and Anand beat Kramik, so there is no need for a Kasparov comeback.

Kasparov didn't seem to be so highly motivated any more. Humans are humans. They can go almost from one extreme to another, depending on how they feel (or are motivated). Kasparov is not an exception to this.

Anand probably has a low endurance level (seems he is more the "genius" type). He just has enough patience to cover his genius, but maybe not enough to keep up a fight). He admitted in the link posted above, in this thread, that he was very very exhuasted. It was known from years ago, that he was greatest in speed chess, and in tournament he is also probably stronger. He may have been lucky that this match was only a 12 game one. The shortest ever in a world championship.

So, perhaps Kasparov could possibly win.
Schlechter-Lasker was 10 games.
