Even the Irish have moved right since the 70's(The abortion issue and LBJ was a big one, and Reagan helped as well)

And I've heard the younger Jews are starting to break from their parents and grandparents on their votes as well which is good to hear.

It took LBJ in both sides of my family's case to start the break. Reagan did it for most of the rest of the family. Klinton solidified it among all but the most liberal with his backing for partial birth abortion, which is not popular among Irish.

Wish the same could be said of the "ethnic" Poles in Buffalo, who voted for the Hildebeast. Then again, her opponent WAS Rick Lazio who barely campaigned in their neighborhoods!

Based upon AJC data and conversations with friends, this is particularly true of Jewish men under 40. The problem comes in places like Florida, where the Jewish vote is typically over 65! Nevertheless, still good news. :-)
