Both are minor advantages.
Convention: Energizes party base in said state, brings out more volunteers, etc. which effects the entire campaign operation, turnout and such.
Neighboring state: Media market spillover - if Rendell was the Democratic VP nominee, his popularity as PA Governor and Philly mayor would carry over into Delaware and New Jersey (this assumes they aren't already strong Democratic states). And as Nym says, Regional advantage is big; especially in the South, but a Midwesterner or New Englander with a high profile makes a difference.
