A friend of mine was the treasurer of the Republican party for a county 
in Virginia.  He left that post when the local party voted to nominate 
Oliver North for the Senate, and became much less active as a republican 
in the following years.

He may yet be a registered republican, though.  Not being familiar with 
this part of  the American system I don't know whether such things lapse 
with time.
