Does anyone have a list of all the establishment Republicans who backed the Democrat candidate against the conservative Republican opponent?

Arlen Spector is a great example. He actually switched parties. Governor Crist is another. I have read about many other examples but it would be great if someone had an inclusive list.

IIRC in 2010 Maryland’s First District the RINO incumbent was primaried by a TEA Partier and the loser proceeded to campaign for the Dumbocrat. Do not recall the loser’s name.

What about the guy up in RI who was an R, then went D? Can’t remember his name. Pretty squishy. I think he retired, or ran for Gov, something like that.
