In a way this is what happened in 1912. Former President Theodore Roosevelt, who was elected as a Republican Vice President in 1900 and as a Republican President in 1904, tried to get the nomination in 1912, but when he failed to get it, he ran as a third party candidate against the incumbent Republican president William Howard Taft. Both were defeated by Democrat Woodrow Wilson.
NO- he was not a candidate for President. However, at the 1888 Republican Convention he did receive a vote for the Republican nomination.
He was the Democratic candidate in 1988, against Republican George H.W. Bush.
In the electoral campaign of 1860, Lincoln was nominated by the Republican Party to run for President against Steven A. Douglas.
In the 2008 election, Mr. Obama first ran against Hillary Clinton to get the Democratic party's nomination for president. He then ran against the Republican party's nominee, John McCain, and defeated him.

John Kerry was the 2004 Democratic Party nominee for President of the United States. He ran unsuccessfully against President George W. Bush, the Republican nominee.
They're not. Right now, the focus is on the Republican party because the Democrats have the incumbent, President Obama. The Republicans are deciding who will run against Obama.
Theodore Roosevelt was a President of the Republican Party.
In 2000,the Republican party chose Cheney to run for vice president with George W.Bush
Abraham Lincoln
republican party, obviously.
The most recent example was the 1976 Election run of Eugene McCarthy as an Independent against the Incumbent Republican Gerald Ford and the Democratic Party challenger Jimmy Carter.
