These ideals will make the November general election an ideological clash. Cuomo's opponent is Lewis Lehrman, 44, a drugstore-chain heir who pumped $3.7 million of his own into a record-setting $7 million primary campaign. Lehrman, a supply-side conservative who backed Ronald Reagan, champions the gold standard and, unlike Cuomo, believes strongly in capital punishment.
