I was watching something last night (Fox, Stewart or Colbert, forget which) and this question was asked. The pundit who was being interviewed pretty much said that McCain needs to stay away from the likes or Romney and Huckleberry and look somewhere else for a VP.
And although in general a VP does not do shit, they do have two important roles. To step in and take over the presidency when he is incapacitated or killed, and to cast potentially crucial tie-breaking votes. That last one I think is important. I would think that you would want someone who thinks like you and is on board with your agenda as president so that in case he needs to cast that vote, you can be assured it will go your way.
