Stringer rallies on Eliot’s Post-mortem

Great Scott!

City comptroller candidate Scott Stringer basked yesterday in the big boost his campaign won with The Post’s endorsement — and picked up even more steam from voters dead set against seeing hooker-friendly ex-Love Gov. Eliot Spitzer rise to power again.

“I don’t like Spitzer. The guy slept with prostitutes,” said Hugh Coley, 41, as Stringer greeted voters in The Bronx. “What makes you think he’s going to really change? You can’t trust him.”

Stringer, the Manhattan borough president since 2006, was ecstatic over The Post’s support as he continued to pound away at Spitzer’s record.

“A lot of people were holding up The Post for us,” the ex-state assemblyman said. “It’s been great. Today has been great.”

He made stops yesterday in The Bronx, Queens and Manhattan and also appeared on MSNBC.

“I want there to be one standard of justice in this town,” he told voters in Co-Op City. “That’s the difference between my opponent and I — he gets away with it, and people of New York get away with nothing.”

Besides being backed by The Post, Stringer also has racked up endorsements from The New York Times and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.

Spitzer — who has spent millions of dollars from his family’s fpersonal fortune running for comptroller — resigned as governor in 2008 after admitting patronizing prostitutes.

New Yorkers made it abundantly clear yesterday that they don’t want Spitzer back in office.

“To vote for Spitzer would be like giving New York a black eye,” said Michael Davis, a 32-year-old security guard.
