general election? I've never really cared about who the vice president was. Why is there such a big hooplah over it this election?

Recent VP's have been pretty much just figure heads. However, there is always the chance that the VP may have to take over, so in this respect it can be a crucial decision.

Not too much. There's a very small chance that the VP would ever have to serve as President, so I'd rather vote for a person I'd like to be President rather than vote against him because I don't like his VP candidate and let someone who I don't want to be President be elected.

VP takes over in case anything happens to the elected president. They also serve as a tie breaker in congress, as well as a figurehead for foreign diplomacy.
Last but not least, a VP can balance out a ticket, appeal to different demographics, and get more votes. Escpecially important in swing states that can go either way.

McCain's choice of vice president matters a lot, because of McCain's age. His vice president would be much more likely to become president than would Obama's.
