Balancing the candidate IMO. Balance geographically is less important than balancing skill set and experience. Joe Biden was a good call because he is a working class liberal. He is given to speaking his mind and saying things he regrets. Obama comes off as well spoken, polished, and measured. Biden is frequently none of these. Also Biden had experience in so many areas where Obama was lacking.
But really it's about the candidate's first big decision. It's about what sort of people they intend to surround themselves with. That's why McCain lost any chance of getting my vote with Sarah Palin. When he chose Palin he revealed a lot about what sort of people he would take counsel from.
The differences between became more apparent as the race unfolded but their picks for VP really told us a lot.

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.
