| Description | Sen. Dianne Feinstein said Wednesday she has concerns about Hillary Rodham Clinton's path to the Democratic presidential nomination and wants to know what the former first lady's strategy is.
Feinstein, D-Calif., an early and enthusiastic Clinton supporter, emphasized that she remained firmly behind Clinton and was giving no thought to switching her support to Sen. Barack Obama, who padded his delegate lead in Tuesday's primaries in North Carolina and Indiana.
"I think we're at a point where I would like to know what the strategy is, how it becomes doable, and that's all I've been trying to say to people," Feinstein said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Feinstein said she had a call in to Clinton but the two hadn't yet spoken.
"Hillary has a very strong presence in it, a dominant presence, and you can't say withdraw. I mean she's not an also-ran, she's racking up big votes, big states, necessary states. So all that's true," said Feinstein, California's senior senator and the state's dominant Democratic politician.
California's other senator, Democrat Barbara Boxer, hasn't endorsed.
"The bottom line is you have to get to so many delegates. How do you do it. That's the strategy," Feinstein said.
Asked whether she was concerned that Clinton couldn't get there, Feinstein responded: "I don't know."
