BOISE, Idaho (AP) _ Sen. Barack Obama won over Idaho's lone
remaining undecided superdelegate in the race for the 2008
Democratic presidential nominee.

On Monday, state Democratic Party Chairman Keith Roark said he
had no doubt Obama would run the stronger presidential race than
his rival, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Obama, D-Illinois, attracted more than 14,000 people in early
February to a rally in Boise before winning 80 percent support in
the state's caucus days later.

Obama has a big lead in pledged delegates and in recent days has
erased Clinton's lead among superdelegates, the party leaders who
can side with any candidate.

Idaho's other three superdelegates also favor Obama.
