Teddy Davis of ABC News has a new interview with Brian Schweitzer in which the Montana governor offers some sharp criticisms of Senator Barack Obama, but says that he will withhold his coveted endorsement for whoever wins his state’s primary on June 3rd.

The interview, conducted at Schweitzer’s Helena home, has the governor disapproving of Obama’s health care plan and his strict guidelines for clean coal technologies, which Schweitzer sees as vital for reducing America’s dependence on foreign oil. No matter who wins the Democratic Party’s nomination, Schweitzer thinks Republican nominee John McCain will win Montana for his stance on gun control alone.
