HELENA, Mont. (AP) - Two more Montana superdelegates are backing Barack Obama following weekend visits by the Illinois senator and rival Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Obama now has commitments from 4 of Montana's eight superdelegates - party insiders allowed to vote for whichever candidate they prefer at the Democratic National Convention in August.
In a tight race, both candidates have been wooing the superdelegates who may end up deciding the nomination.
Margaret Campbell, a state lawmaker from Poplar who is vice-chair of the Montana Democratic Party, says she will use her key vote for Obama. In addition, Jeanne Lemire Dahlman - a national committeewoman - says she is backing Obama. However, Dahlman said she may reconsider if Montana voters pick Clinton in the state's June 3 primary.
The four undecided superdelegates have said they will wait until after the primary to make a decision.
