NEW YORK — Eliot Spitzer and Democratic rival Scott Stringer traded darts Friday in their first debate in the city comptroller campaign, with Spitzer saying his opponent had accomplished little in 20 years in politics while Stringer suggested the scandal-tarnished ex-governor belongs more in jail than in office.
Stringer, the Manhattan borough president, and Spitzer, who resigned as governor amid a prostitution imbroglio in 2008, have been immersed in a testy campaign since Spitzer unexpectedly launched his run last month.
