Look at it this way - If you cut Alaska in half, Texas would be the third largest state in the US, with respect to land mass.

However, it looks like you're asking about political influence. Texas has a lot of influence in politics, and is considered the anchor state of the South, but it is still not so influential as California, which is the most populated state in the US.

Alaska only has a population of about 650 thousand while the country as a whole has a population around 300 million. If you divide 300 million by 50 states that comes out to about 6 million people per state, so you can see right away that Alaska is not on par population-wise. The census bureau estimates that Texas has a population of about 23 million and that California has a population of about 36 million.

Bush really does have a residence in Texas. His family is from the East Coast but they made a fortune in oil, so you could say they have roots in Texas, in a Yankee carpet-bagger sort of way.

You bet Bush is from Texas however Alaska is the largest state. On the other hand you probably are using this question for other means. Just come out and say it instead of hiding your question. Or I could be wrong and you really want to know what is the largest state is? If this is the case then as stated earlier Alaska is the largest.

The largest U.S. state is Alaska. The largest state in the continuous 48 is Texas. No Bush did not win the presidency due to being a Texas citizen. While we are the biggest state in the lower 48, there are several states with a larger population.
