Smith loses to Sununu in New Hampshire

Two-term New Hampshire Sen. Bob Smith lost the GOP nomination to Rep. John Sununu Tuesday, the first time an elected senator was ousted in a primary in a decade.

Smith, who had briefly quit the party for a failed presidential bid in 1999, found himself the target of a GOP effort to dump him.

Smith, who had briefly quit the party for a failed presidential bid in 1999, found himself the target of a GOP effort to dump him.
