Jim Jeffords and Lincoln Chafee are the two most recent examples that come to mind. Bob Dole if you go even earlier.

Michael Bloomberg, if he counts as a Republican.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Antonin Scalia, Richard Posner & a bunch of other judges, if you count the judicial branch.

That's it unless your count admiring politicians' non-political careers.

*wondering how in the hell he counts as a republican*

Anyway, the only people I can think of right now would be Mark Begich, Joe Manchin, Ron Wyden (maybe) and Mary Landrieu. In congress I pretty much dislike most politicians. About 95/5 for Democrats and 65/35 for republicans.

Oh, thanks for informing me on New York politics. I'm guessing he's more of a democrat now judging from the guns and soda bans. He's an independent now right?

He's still super conservative on economic policies + law enforcement. The guns and soda don't really stem from any liberal sensibilities, and more of him being a controlling dick.
