It's called "a majority coalition" (or at least, a potential one). Economic libertarians, business interests, and religious fundamentalists were forced together in the 60s and 70s to try to stop getting steamrolled by the unionists, city-dwellers, and progressives.
No major shift has occurred since then. Businessmen and rich people swung for Obama in '08, but I expect that was a temporary swing due to the unpopularity of Bush. Anyone concerned about fiscal responsibility can't like having an all-Democratic government.
Unfortunately, coalition politics means that you're seldom allowed to have a politician who can balance a budget and has no strong desire to enforce his religion by law. The democratic sausage, it is ugly.
