Her candidate may have lost the Democratic nomination, but Dianne Feinstein is still dreaming of the dream ticket, Politico reports. Although she conceeds that "nobody else can tell" Barack Obama what to do, Feinstein today reiterated on ABC's "This Week" the Clinton campaign's longtime assertion that it won the popular vote.  The California senator hosted Thursday's meeting between the two candidates.

“Hillary Clinton is well known, certainly she had the popular vote in this election,” said the California senator. “That is something tremendous. Now, I believe the (vice presidential) nomination is up to him. I can't tell him what to do. Nobody else can tell him what to do. All I can say is I agree with (Pennsylvania Gov.) Ed Rendell, that if you really want a winning ticket, this is it.” (More Dianne Feinstein stories.)
