Obama attacks Clinton's gas tax plan

INDIANAPOLIS - Broadening his attack, Barack Obama said Saturday that Hillary Rodham Clinton's support for a summertime break from the federal gasoline tax symbolizes a candidacy consisting of "phony ideas, calculated to win elections instead of actually solving problems."

Not so, the former first lady told a campaign audience as the next round of primaries approached. Obama is "attacking my plan to try to get you some kind of break this summer," she said.

Locked in a Democratic presidential race for the ages, Clinton and Obama campaigned across Indiana and North Carolina at the same time they competed in Guam's caucuses and added to their convention delegate totals in several states.

In all, four delegates were at stake in Guam half a world away from the U.S. mainland. But given the closeness of the race, both candidates made an effort to win.

ALBANY - Gov. Spitzer and his aides won't tell New Yorkers whether he has a private attorney to represent him in the Troopergate scandal.

At a tense press conference at the state Capitol on Monday, Spitzer also refused to discuss the parallel probes by the Albany district attorney's office and the state Public Integrity Commission, insisting, "I have answered all these questions at length."

"Obviously, we are cooperating fully," he said.

"It is their job to do what they do," Spitzer said of investigators. "It is my job to cooperate, which is exactly what I have done. I have answered all the questions, over and over."

But Senate Investigations Committee Chairman George Winner (R-Elmira) said the governor was engaging in "more stonewalling" by refusing to tell the public whether he has retained a private attorney.

"This man is incapable of leveling with anyone," added Winner, whose committee has met stiff resistance from the administration on its subpoenas seeking e-mails and other documents relating to the effort by Spitzer aides to discredit Senate GOP leader Joe Bruno.

Spitzer did acknowledge, as reported in yesterday's Daily News, that his office received a new subpoena from Albany County District Attorney David Soares in the reopened investigation into the scandal.

Meanwhile, The News learned that the administration's chief counsel, David Nocenti, a witness in the Troopergate affair, has hired Albany lawyer Peter Moschetti, and another high-ranking Spitzer cabinet member, Sean Patrick Maloney, has retained Manhattan lawyer Bart Schwartz.

Nocenti had notarized a written statement signed by Darren Dopp, the governor's former communications director. Sources say Soares is trying to determine if Dopp has made false statements.

Spitzer, a former criminal prosecutor, balked at releasing a copy of the subpoena that Soares directed to his administration, saying, "I'm not sure what the rules are with respect to that."

Asked why Spitzer refuses to say whether he has a lawyer, the governor's spokesman, Errol Cockfield, said, "It would be inappropriate to comment while there are ongoing investigations."
