It's technically possible, though unlikely. According to the Twelfth Amendment, the Electors in the Electoral College (the formal body that elects the President and the Vice-President), must vote for at least one person outside of their state. If both the President and Vice-Presidential candidates on a ticket were from the same state (for example, Texas) that would mean that the electors from that state would be constitutionally unable to vote for both members of that ticket. They would have to split their vote and vote for someone from a different state.

To stop this from happening, candidates for President will always ensure that they have a running mate who is an inhabitant of a different state. George W. Bush, for example, had to have Dick Cheney change his residence from Texas to Wyoming, otherwise both candidates would have been from Texas.
