CONCORD, N.H.—Republican Sen. John Sununu and Democrat Jeanne Shaheen dove back into their rematch Tuesday, coming up for air just long enough to defeat little-known challengers in their respective primaries.

Sununu easily defeated former state Rep. Tom Alciere, a circuit board inspector from Hudson, and Shaheen beat Ray Stebbins, a Massachusetts lawyer who moved to Nashua four months ago. Libertarian Ken Blevens of Bow also will be on the November ballot.

Sununu and Shaheen had focused on each other from the beginning and kept at it Tuesday.

"If folks want to continue the status quo, then they want to support John Sununu, because he has voted with George Bush 90 percent of the time," Shaheen said in a phone interview. "He has supported the policies that have gotten us to where we are today."
