I voted Tulsa. At least Colorado Springs has some pockets of liberalism.

Va. Beach is Republican, but not extremely conservative.

Dallas and Cincinnati are much more moderate than their respective metro areas.

Not familiar with Birmingham or Omaha, though I think they're actually liberal for Alabama and Nebraska respectively.

And, yes, Jacksonville should have been on the list. (It's actually the 14th biggest city in the U.S.)

I think that's only because the city proper is expanded to take up almost all of Duval county though, so it includes lots of areas which are really suburban or even rural.

Yeah, I think it actually has the largest land area of any city in the continental U.S.

How large is it? I know El Paso, TX has a huge land area as well most of it uninhabited desert.

From the census...

City                                                    Miles        Rank

Anchorage city, AK                             1,697.2      1
Jacksonville city, FL                            757.7        2
El Paso city, TX                                 249.1         20

No problem...apparently El Paso isn't even the largest (land area) city in Texas.

the largest city in America is actually Sitka, Alaska, south of Juneau. It's 2874 square miles and has a population of less than 9000

The list I copied only included large cities.
