Clinton has been under increased pressure in recent days to bow out and hand the Democratic presidential nomination to Obama. Although the race is close, Obama has a clear edge in pledged delegates and appears to hold the momentum among the key superdelegates who can vote for whomever they like at the Democratic national convention in August. But Schweitzer says the race has been good for the Democratic Party, with millions of new voters and lots of excitement and energy.

During a campaign stop in South Dakota Thursday, Clinton said it's exciting that the votes in Montana and South Dakota will count. She says those two states will have the last word, and she told voters they have a chance between now and then to think about who they want to be the next president.
