HARTFORD, Conn. - Sen. Joe Lieberman, crippled by his support for the Iraq war, lost the Democratic nomination for a fourth term Tuesday to a political newcomer who portrayed him as an apologist for the Bush administration. Lieberman vowed to run as an independent in November.

His loss to Ned Lamont - just six years after his party made him its vice presidential candidate - made him only the fourth incumbent senator to lose a primary since 1980.
