Most of us are at least a little bit more responsive to giving support directly to someone who we respect greatly when asked to by that person. A display of loyalty toward someone who has been there for you when it mattered is almost hard wired in most people. Warren is the type of person who can pull in a little more money than would have been donated to her political causes otherwise if she wasn't asking for it personally. It's a good move all the way around.
