I believe this was the case for Lloyd Bensen in his run for the Vice Presidency in '88. He was up for re-election for his seat in the Senate and on the Dukakis ticket for President/VP -- guess he was pretty smart as he knew he would have no chance at VP 
Same applies to Joe Lieberman who in addition to running w/ Gore in 2000 was on the ballot in CT for re-election to the Senate.
Robert Dole is the only person in recent memory (mine, anyway...) to resign his U.S. Senate seat in order to run for the Presidency in 1996.
