You can be sure VP has already been picked, nothing haphazard about anything Hill does. VP slot is a big deal announcement. We lose all of that excitement and media time if it's Warren, who already peaked last week. Also, Warren can continue to get air play bombing Trump without being VP. Her endorsement and visibility already accomplished at least some of the uniting already, and will continue to do so.

If it's not going to be Warren, the decision should come from Warren. It will piss off a whole lot of people if it appears Hillary used Warren and then passed her by.
