FILE - In this Dec. 3, 2009, file photo, state Rep. James E. Smith, addresses attorneys during a House Judiciary Committee meeting in Columbia, S.C.

That drew a sharp contrast with the Democratic primary, where one of Smith’s opponents accused him of being too conservative. (AP Photo/Brett Flashnick, File)
