Crossing the line

In this crazy election year, would it be possible or likely for cross-party tickets? Some people are at least discussing the notion, including a McCain-Lieberman ticket (http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/2007/12/27/2007-12-27_yes_lieberman_helps_mccain__but_not_how_.html) and an Obama-Powell ticket (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/2/10/215731/343/331/454278).

While the discussions have centered on McCain picking a conservative running mate, if he matches up against Obama, McCain might be swayed to select someone from "across the aisle" ... that would effectively negate voters' fascination with the idea with Obama alone could bring the two parties together.

Of course, it's still a possibility that either side could woo New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, should be pass up a potential independent run for the presidency (http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2007/11/obama_gets_his_morning_coffee.php) and (http://politicom.moldova.org/stiri/eng/86893/).
