NEW YORK — Ex-Gov. Eliot Spitzer has spent a whirlwind two months asking voters to give him another chance after a prostitution scandal ended his political career. Now he's poised to find out whether Democrats will.
Polls showed Spitzer and Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer in a close race heading into Tuesday's Democratic primary for city comptroller. Since Spitzer's abrupt July decision to run, the two have been headlocked in one of the fiercest political wrestling matches in the city this year.
