AHC: Both Presidential and VP candidates from the same state

Wallet

how do you have both Republican and Democratic tickets to have presidents and VPs from the same ticket.

I'm thinking 1944. Both FDR and Dewry are from NY. All Dewry has to do is pick someone from Missouri.
 
if you want the Pres/VP ticket to be both from the same state, they automatically lose the EVs from that state. If all 4 are from a single state, that state is totally disenfranchised.
 
The titles poorly worded but Wallet means both matching the equivalent on the other ticket. (I.e. Clinton/warren v. Trump/Brown)
 
Gore picks Gephardt. Bush is handwaved away and Lamar Alexander secures the nomination, and picks either Ashcroft or Danforh.
 
Well, in 1920 we had Warren Harding(R-OH)/Calvin Coolidge(R-MA) and James Cox(D-OH)/Franklin D. Roosevelt(D-NY), so we're halfway there already. Nicholas Murray Butler(R-NY) also ran for President that year, perhaps he could be brought on with Harding. Of course, Harding seemed to prefer running with Sen. Irvine Lenroot(R-WI), and I can't see Butler being so in demand by 1920, even if he was the "replacement" VP in 1912. The solution there One Democratic candidate from Wisconsin is Joseph E. Davies(D-WI) who was the first chairman of the Federal Trade Commission. Davies served from 1915-16 until Pres. Woodrow Wilson asked him to run for U.S. Senate against, you guessed it, Irvine Lenroot.

The easiest way I can see to have the Ohio/Wisconsin ticket work is to keep Lenroot in the Senate and have him beat someone else in the 1918 special election, and keep Davies as the Chairman of the FTC; because if they intersect before the 1920 election; someone ends up as a loser.

So those are two potential options right there:
Warren Harding(R-OH)/Nicholas Murray Butler(R-NY) and James Cox(D-OH)/Franklin D. Roosevelt(D-NY)
Warren Harding(R-OH)/Irvine Lenroot(R-WI) and James Cox(D-OH)/Joseph E. Davies(D-WI)

Also, in response to the OP, here's an unlikely idea, but I'll throw it out anyway:
Thomas Dewey(R-NY)/John W. Bricker(R-OH) and Pres. Franklin Roosevelt(D-NY)/Fmr. Gov. James Cox(D-OH)
The big issue with this one is that Henry Wallace was booted off precisely because most people didn't think FDR had another term in him, so replacing the ill 62-year old President with a man in his 70s probably won't go over well.
 
1952: The Republicans nominate a ticket of Dwight Eisenhower (then a resident of New York) and Robert Taft (of Ohio). (See https://groups.google.com/d/msg/soc.history.what-if/cmo3Je_lyps/7C9P0Ft1H1IJ on why such a ticket was a real possibility.) After Adlai Stevenson rules himself out, the Democrats nominate a ticket of W. Averell Harriman of New York and Frank Lausche of Ohio (the latter to balance Harriman's liberalism with his own conservatism, to help the Democrats in a major state, and to appeal to Catholic voters).
 
Hillary Clinton/Sherrod Brown vs Donald Trump/John Kasich might fulfill the challenge this year.

2000: Bush doesn't run. Lamar Alexander is establishment contender and wins GOP nomination.

Lamar Alexander(Tennessee)/Connie Mack III(Florida) vs Al Gore(Tennessee)/Bob Graham(Florida)
 
In a timeline where George W. Bush is for some reason unavailable in 2000, the year 2004 has incumbent Republican President Liddy Dole (North Carolina) and Vice President Tom Ridge (Pennsylvania) vs. the Democratic ticket of John Edwards (North Carolina) and Ed Rendell (Pennsylvnia)...
 
By from the same state is it born in that state or which state they live in? Does being born in that state apply even if they don't live there now?

If the former then Edwards wins the Democrat nomination 2008 and Sanford runs 2008 and wins.

John Edwards(born in South Carolina)/Kathleen Sibelius(Kansas) vs Mark Sanford(South Carolina)/Sam Brownback(Kansas)

Another 2008 one:
Hillary Clinton(New York)/Tim Kaine(Virginia) vs Rudy Giuliani(New York)/Eric Cantor(Virginia)
 
All the tickets from 2000-2012

2012: Obama/Biden (D) vs Kirk/O'Donnell (both Illinois/Delaware)
2008:
Obama/Biden (D) vs Shimkus/Cloutier (both Illinois/Delaware)
2004:
Bush/Cheney (R) vs Hinojosa/Freudenthal (Both Texas/Wyoming)
2000:
Bush/Cheney (R) vs Green/Some Wyoming Democrat
 
The titles poorly worded but Wallet means both matching the equivalent on the other ticket. (I.e. Clinton/warren v. Trump/Brown)
This quote seems as appropriate now as when I posted it earlier. Reagan/Bush v. Cranston/Bentsen in 84 would do it.
 
1968:

Richard Nixon/Spiro Agnew
Sam Yorty/J. Millard Tawes
Curtis LeMay/Some Marylander that sympathizes with the American Independent Party
 
This year would offer plenty of potential for this, seeing as both candidates are from New York. In terms of VPs, you could have Brown and Kasich, Castro and Cruz/Perry, Booker and Christie, Vilsack and Ernst, Bayh and Pence, off the top of my head.
 
1920: Cox (OH)/David I. Walsh (MA) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_I._Walsh vs. Harding/Coolidge. (Granted, it would be risky for the Demcorats to nominate a Catholic even for vice-president in 1920 but maybe they feel that they have to do so to appease Irish and German Catholic voters upset by the War and the peace settlement, Wilson's Mexican and Philippine policies, etc.)
 
Going a bit earlier: 1812 with James Madison (R-VA)/Elbridge Gerry (R-MA) vs. John Marshall (F-VA)/Caleb Strong (F-MA).

1860 it's unlikely for Douglas to not pick a Southerner, but if he couldn't find anyone to join him from down below, maybe he could pick a Maine man like Samuel Wells or James Ware Bradbury?
