Holland said many of the volunteers Obama has attracted in Utah are now volunteering for other Democratic candidates, as well as the party. Clinton has not made a trip to Utah, although her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and daughter, Chelsea, have visited.

As state party chairman, Holland said he has an obligation to endorse the candidate who'll do the most for Utah Democrats.

"While we are blessed at having two exceptional candidates," he said, "Obama was clearly the choice of Utah Democrats on Feb. 5 and is the choice of the majority of Utah Democratic candidates to head the ticket in November."

Obama's other committed Utah superdelegate is former Congressman Bill Orton. Clinton's Utah superdelegates are former state Sen. Karen Hale and Salt Lake Mayor Ralph Becker's spokeswoman, Helen Langan.

Langan said she's hearing from many Obama supporters.

"Right now, I definitely remain committed to Sen. Clinton," she said. "My philosophy about it has been both of them would be excellent presidents and our country needs to elect a Democrat."

But, Langan said, "I'm keeping an open mind and watching the race."
