It's not that the Republicans pick President and Democrats pick the Vice-President - remember, there were NO political parties at the time of the Constitution. The newly elected House picks the President, and the newly elected Senate, the Vice-President.
Like so (because it's not a straight up and down vote) -

Weird, huh? But I really can't believe with a Republican as President, they'd confirm a Democrat as Vice-President.
