Some of the largest cities to vote McCain have large suburbs within city limits and actually may have had their urban cores vote for Obama.

For reference, thanks to Lephead's work, I've listed the largest cities to vote for McCain:

pop. Overall         Obama   McCain   pop.   density
13   Jacksonville   FL   49.3%   49.8%   807,815   1,055.7
31   Oklahoma City   OK   42.6%   57.4%   551,789   901.6
38   Mesa   AZ   37.9%   60.1%   463,552   3,681.5
42   Virginia Beach   VA   49.1%   49.8%   433,746   1,773.8
46   Tulsa   OK   44.3%   55.7%   385,635   2,102.6
48   Colorado Springs, CO   CO   42.2%   56.4%   380,307   2,026.6
50   Arlington   TX   47.2%   52.0%   374,417   3,872.2
51   Wichita   KS   46.4%   51.3%   366,046   2,635.0

64   Corpus Christi   TX   47.3%   51.8%   286,462   1,852.4
