It is something that has never happened, but could have happened and might happen in the future. What can be done to get one at any time??? Bonus points if before Kennedy.
For Santorum, as a Veep, you would basically need to butterfly Rove's attempt to gin up support by scheduling gay marriage referendums somehow to after 2008, or go with another strategy entirely. That means there's no occasion for Ricky to make the bestiality comment.Rick Santorum's another (terrible) name to throw out there. How you'd get him to the Presidency I don't know, but he fits the Italian-American bill.
Edit: Also, Andrew Napolitano. Slightly less awful and definitely more interesting, IMO.
With Cuomo, it depends on whether gay rights are an issue. We're talking about the man who gaybaited Ed Koch with "vote Cuomo, not the homo."I cant believe that this is the 6th post and nobody's mentioned Mario Cuomo yet! Also, I'm sure @Gentleman Biaggi could create a scenario where m a r i o b i a g g i ends up in the Oval Office.
FDR picks Fiorello H. La Guardia as his VP in 1940. FDR greatly admired him and perhaps he decides that if he's going to run for a third term he needs to pick a liberal Republican for the purpose of national unity in the run up to war.
If the Democratic Party leaders could stomach Wallace who was only barely a Democrat in the first place then I think they could stomach La Guardia if FDR insisted as a condition of him accepting the nomination.

Very surprised nobody mentioned Nixon's second choice as a running mate: Rhode Island senator John Volpe. It might not have taken very much to have him chosen instead of Agnew.
There are plenty of Republican tickets he could be a part of, though.
I already have like twiceI cant believe that this is the 6th post and nobody's mentioned Mario Cuomo yet! Also, I'm sure @Gentleman Biaggi could create a scenario where m a r i o b i a g g i ends up in the Oval Office.
