I think it comes tomorrow but we can lay predictions down now.
My prediction is she will use her pick to shore up the Wall Street support aka Tim Kaine which might help her with Virginia. Other possibilities include Tom Vilsack who might help her with Iowa or Sherrod Brown to help her with Ohio.
I think Kaine is a mistake. He's too boring. As are most of her choices, she needs some life breathed into her campaign and the best choice for that is Warren.
My guess would be Cory Booker.
The last thing she needs to do is thumb her nose at her lefty base with a wall street pick. If they think its important to shore up support from ex-sanders voters, picking Kaine will piss them off something fierce.

She doesn't need progressives, she can win without them. She is looking to sway all those center and center right anti Trump voters. Appears to be a mistake to ever think she cared about the progressive vote.

But if she's anything like her husband... she'll use that good 'ol Clinton triangulation to kick the left in the nuts and pick Kaine.
Kaine is who I wish was on top of the ticket.
There's more options of just voting for Hillary or Trump. And I'm not even talking third party. If she ****s on the progressives, which is exactly what a Kaine pick would be doing, many will stay home.
Webb would of been better.
He was solid and they should of dumped Hillary for him.
Well c'mon now. They can't dump the Anointed Queen.

Would be a decent pick but I don't see the strategy behind him. Usually VPs are done strategically to woo a certain demographic or state.
I honestly don't understand why the let her run.
She comes with sooooooooo much baggage, it just shouldn't have happened.
I think it would be kind of like the Joe Biden pick, except in reverse. Booker's young and fresh compared to Hillary, who's been in office for years. And Booker, however you feel about his politics, is pretty universally considered to be a good guy, whereas Hillary does not have that reputation.
The Democrats would probably also be pretty confidant about winning his seat in a special election the way they might not about Sherrod Brown, Kaine, or even Warren after what happened to Kennedy's seat.
And IF she loses in November every progressive and Sanders supporter out there is going to be pissed. Every poll showed him beating Trump by double digits. Yet her camp maligned his supporters and called them "pie in the sky." The party will fracture.
I think that SHE is the face to shore up Wall Street. Her VP pick needs to be someone who will pull in the Bernie supporters who otherwise, incomprehensibly to me, may move to Trump.
I disagree, more often then not, you want a boring but stable VP.
Anything more exciting than the presidential candidate is worthless, because VP's are an auxiliary that do not super important side jobs.
Why waste your better, more exciting talent in the boring role of VP.
There were several comparisons this morning to Trumps speech last night and Sanders speeches. They both appear angry at the "rigged system" and focused on the working people who don't care about the successful stock market.
