NEW YORK -- Scandal-dented ex-Gov. Eliot Spitzer and rival Scott Stringer charged through a last day of campaigning Monday before the Democratic primary for city comptroller, one of the most mordantly contested city races this year.

With new polls showing a tight contest, both were spending the day making radio appearances, attending rallies and shaking voters' hands on streets and at community centers.

Seeking to rebuild a political career splintered by a prostitution investigation, Spitzer said he felt the campaign had gotten voters thinking more about his political record than about his personal conduct.

"That is out there, but the public has said, 'OK, it's there - we're judging you based on what you did in government,'" he said Monday on WWRL-AM's "Morning Show with Mark Riley."
