Why doesn't Madison, Wisconsin have any Republican suburbs?

See topic.

Even liberal cities usually have Republican suburbs on the outer fringes.

The bay area doesnt really have republican suburbs, and it's much bigger than Madison.

CA-11

The republican parts of the district aren't really considered to be bay area suburbs. Manteca might be the only city that counts, and even they voted for Obama 51-47.   Tracy voted for Kerry and over 60% for Obama, and that city is the only true suburb of the bay area in San Joaquin county. Most of the bay area that is within ca-11 are swing/ slight d areas. Cities like Lodi, escalon and rural areas provide the GOP margin in this district, and nobody would argue those cities/rural areas are the suburbs of the bay area.

Hillsborough, Atherton, Woodside are a few reliable Republican suburban enclaves in the Bay Area that comes to mind.  They all went Democrat for 2008, IIRC.

I don't know if I would call them reliable Republican enclaves. Atherton and Hillsborough were right about the national average in 2004. Woodside actually gave 55% of the vote to Kerry. There are similar places in the east bay as well, such as Danville and Clayton. They are certainly historically Republican but they have been trending the other way for a while now. And with the extremist turn within the Republican party, I doubt they will become dominant in these places anytime soon. They are still swing areas, but it would be wrong to call them Republican areas, even if they are relative to the rest of the bay area.

Those used to be reliable Repub areas. Not anymore.
