Perhaps most interesting:

From the other side, Podesta repeatedly called and urged Warren to endorse Clinton to help bring the primary fight to an earlier end. “I think her view was that if she was respectful and waited that she’d be more useful in bringing Bernie supporters to Hillary,” Podesta remembered. “I always thought that was overthinking it.”

In general Warren's brand seemed to take a hit with Bernie supporters post-convention and partially now. And of course Hillary's loss reduced Liz's staff picks to meaningless. Would Hillary take another hit for negotiating in private what she didn't say in public? Media expectations're a fickle bitch.

A shame there wasn't more on a potential Veep role instead of the fairly ineffective Tim Kaine. I was afraid a dual woman ticket would lose the Heartland, but thought it might be a bit of a female reprise of Bill & Al's excellent adventure, 1992, perhaps an older Thelma and Louise w/o Sarandon's blessing (would it end with a drive off a cliff? Did anyway, without the riotgrrrlriotgrrrl bittersweet feel good ending)
