Twice. In 1840, whig candidate WH Harrison had a Democrat, John Tyler, as his running-mate. In 1864. Republican Abraham Lincoln had Democrat Andrew Johnson on his ticket. Both men later succeeded to the Presidency, and all sorts of political shenanigins resulted.
The president and the vice-president run as a team and are both nominated by the same party. Voters are not able to cross-over and vote separately for the two offices. This is because they are really voting for electors who are pledged to vote for one of the party slates. (Before the 12th amendment was ratified in 1804, the presidential candidate with the second most votes was made vice-president, so John Adams and his vice-president Jefferson were bitter political opponents . Not a good thing, hence the amendment.) Despite this amendment, if the election were to go to House to decide because no one got a majority of electoral votes, the Senate would pick the vice-president. If the two houses happened to be controlled by different parties, it is possible that the president and vice-president would once again be from different parties.
I believe so as long as the President chooses that person to act as their vice president.
Every presidential candidate from 1800 on, has had a running mate. After the fiasco of 1800, the 12th amendment virtually guaranteed that each candidate would have a running mate.
It doesn't because vice president Hendricks was in a different political party than the president at thay time.

No, when the president is running for office. They have the opportunity then to pick who they want as their running mate and eventual vice president. Much like right now with Obama and Biden, they stay within the same political party.

As head of a political party the president uses his power and prestige to support party goals or candidates. During election years, the President will frequently give speeches and attend fundraisers throughout the country to help support members of the party who are running for important offices.

Once upon a time....... Service was more important than political party but that died out pretty quickly in the great political experiment that is the United States of America.
