Lyndon Johnson delivered Texas and many other southern states that would have otherwise voted for Richard Nixon. The granddaddy of all his contribution was cash.

How would the president try to balance the ticket when choosing a vice president?
The decision of a VP often carries a lot baggage. The area he is from carries weight, the number of electoral votes in his state is a factor, and can he bring something to the ticket that is needed. When LBJ was asked to be VP for Kennedy he had many things that made him a good choice. He knew the Senate/Congress very well since he had been in it for years and knew where the secrets were. He was from TX and that could counter the "eastern" look of JFK. TX also carried a number of electoral votes. Kennedy and LBJ didn't like each other, but he gave the ticket what it needed.
