If, indeed, it is true that John McCain will choose a running mate based upon no consideration other than who would make the best President should he (McCain) die in office, then his only choice will be Fred Thompson.
Thompson has maturity, gravitas, a clear grasp of who he is, including a realistic assessment of his own limitations, not to mention a wide variety of experience.
For these reasons Thompson is light-years ahead of all of the other possibilities, including Condi Rice, Joe Lieberman, Tom Ridge, Mark Sanford, and others.
Thus, if we accept the premise that McCain's choice will be based upon no other consideration than the one mentioned above, that means if he chooses someone of lesser stature than Thompson we can safely assume that McCain's reasoning is much more complicated and purely political than a mere concern about 'who would make the best President.'
We shall see...

Yeah, he's shown us several times before what his sense of reason means;
John "Juan" McCain

I'm not a very religious man but, if he does offer Fred the VP I'll consider it nothing short of a miracle.
DITTO!
The likelihood of John McCain dying in office is very high:)
