HELENA - Montana superdelegate Margaret Campbell says she is being forced to retract her endorsement of Barack Obama.

Campbell is a state lawmaker from Poplar, and vice chairwoman of the state party. Earlier Monday she said she was endorsing Obama, after the Illinois senator and rival Hillary Clinton visited Montana over the weekend.

A short time later, Campbell said Montana Democratic Party rules prevented her from endorsing a candidate in a contested primary. Obama did pick up the backing of Jeanne Lemire Dahlman, a national committeewoman.

However, Dahlman says she may reconsider if Montana voters pick Clinton in the state's June 3rd primary. With Dahlman, Obama has commitments from three of Montana's eight superdelegates.
