California ballot official, ready to print

"Like you, I'm most interested in seeing how the process evolves," Bush told reporters. "It's a fascinating bit of political drama evolving in the country's largest state."

Does not seem many picked it up, I guess a good many failed US Geography.

I would say Texas and Alaska are larger, but I could be wrong.

Then wouldn't he have said the countries most populous state? Not largest?

With over 30 million people (correct me if I am wrong here)and the worlds 5th largest economy it the largest state in the US.

However "largest state" to me means land size unless you specify otherwise.

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.
