DES MOINES (AP) - Iowa Democratic Chairman Scott Brennan has endorsed Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Brennan, who's a superdelegate, announced his support on Tuesday, just hours before the Illinois senator makes his first visit to Iowa since winning the Iowa caucuses in January.

Brennan says Obama is going to "help build the strong future of the Democratic Party."

Brennan's support comes as primaries are under way in Kentucky and Oregon. Rival Hillary Rodham Clinton is expected to win Kentucky. Obama is favored in Oregon.

Obama leads Clinton nationally in the tally of superdelegates. That includes endorsements from seven of Iowa's 11 superdelegates, compared to Clinton's three. Senator Tom Harkin is Iowa's only uncommitted superdelegate.
