Down Goes Spitzer! Stringer wins Democratic comptroller primary
Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer won the Democratic primary for comptroller Tuesday night, ending disgraced ex-Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s surprise bid to reclaim his political career.
Stringer had a 52-percent-to-48-percent lead over Spitzer in incomplete and unofficial returns, with 92 percent of precincts reporting.
Spitzer called Stringer to concede, according to Spitzer spokeswoman Lis Smith.
