Heh -- VPs are usually chosen for one reason and one reason only -- How many electoral votes can they bring to the ticket.
This can be that they come from a specific state that is in play and could net a lot of EVs.
This could be a racial or gender thing.
This could be to cater to a specific faction of the population either of the base or outside the base.
This could be to counterbalance a perceived weakness in the main candidate (IE person not good with military chooses a general)
--
Usually they try to stay away from people more competent than they are.

Oh how soon we forget Cheney. The powerful and influential VP since probably one of Roosevelt's running mates.
