Party leaders don't seem to care Clinton has taken the big states [View All]

Winning Pennsylvania on Tuesday, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton added the nation's sixth-largest state to an impressive list: California, Ohio, Massachusetts, New York, Texas, New Jersey and in her view, Florida and Michigan.

Yet few Democrats important to her nomination seem to much care, including superdelegates such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco, whose comments have seemed to favor rival Sen. Barack Obama, and former Vice President Al Gore, who is estranged from the Clintons.

Nor are they paying much attention to her argument that Obama's inability to put her away in the big states, all of which carry large numbers of Electoral College votes in November, expose weaknesses in an Obama candidacy against Republican Sen. John McCain.

They might be listening instead to Obama's argument that he will win California hands down in the fall, along with other overwhelmingly Democratic states Clinton claims, and that he can put in play smaller ones like Virginia that she can't touch.
