Then wouldn't he have said the countries most populous state? Not largest? [/QUOTE]No. Even newspapers sometimes call it largest in common parlance. It certainly has the most congressional and electoral clout. Largest is appropriate. From the White House perspective, no state is as large. While I mights say "most populous," that is not the only way to discuss it.
