McCain/Lieberman almost happened in 2008.

As a liberal, I thoroughly despised Lieberman. I had a much more favorable opinion of McCain.

If my only two choices were McCain/Lieberman vs McCain/Palin, I would hold my nose and vote for the second.

Arguably it was Gore/Lieberman that was the cross-party ticket, since Lieberman was just a Republican in a trench coat.
