Jews have been Democratic since FDR; this comes from a combination of anti-immigrant sentiment in the 20's in the GOP (the Klan was very bipartisan then instead of just the military arm of the southern Democrats), plus a Jewish tradition of supporting "the common good". In addition, as there was no "Moral Majority" revival with Jews, they ended up more socially liberal than Christians.
