As I understand it some Democrats wanted Eisenhower to run in 1948.
I think I heard once that Earl Warren at one stage won both main party's nomination for Governor of California.
WI in either 1948 or 1952 Eisenhower had said America is too divided I want to be President of all the people so I will seek both parties nominations.
