I found this interesting.  I think 4 of the 5 types of Jewish voter can be found in Canada and Britain as well.

Yep, and the last one on the list is probably the largest of the groups, since a majority of US Jews live either in the Acela corridor or in the Miami/LA/Bay Area metro trio.

As someone who probably identifies with this group I can probably give a little insight into the mindset. There is a big emphasis on anti-discrimination, and the memory of us as a minority and the legacy of that horrible era. For example, during the mourners Kaddish, my synagog has the entire community stand after the individual names in honor of those who have nobody to stand for them/died in the holocaust. Sermons often talk about intolerance, and how the Jewish experience in the Torah relates rates to both us and other in modern day. So, policy wise, this group can probably be thought of having the mindset almost of minority voters, and a probably eternally loyal to the democrats.
