A few cities I can think of with really conservative suburbs.

-Salt Lake City, UT (The outer ring of suburbs in SL County is quite conservative. Even more so if you count Utah and Davis Counties as suburbs.)
-Monroe, LA (City proper is heavily black and went >60% for Obama, the rest of the county is heavily white and went around 70 percent for McCain; Oachita Parish went >60% for both McCain and Romney. This also applies to Louisiana's other midsize urban centers, such as Alexandria, Lake Charles, and to a lesser extent, Hammond.)
-Beaumont/Port Arthur, TX (Both cities proper are minority-heavy and gave Obama around 60-70% of the vote, the rest of Jefferson County went around 75% for McCain, and that's not even touching on the other counties that are also considered part of the metro area.)
-Gadsden, AL (City proper was around 56% Obama. The rest of Etowah County is hyper-republican and caused the county as a whole to go >60% R.)
-Knoxville, TN (City proper went for Obama by a very narrow margin, but Knox County as a whole went 63% Romney.)
-Lima, OH (City proper gave Obama 57% of the vote in 2008, while the remainder of Allen County went >60% for McCain.)
-Lancaster and York, PA (Gave Obama 77 and 79 percent of the vote in 2012, respectively, but the remainder of the two counties consists of extremely republican suburbs and rural territory that allow the counties to go heavily R.)
-Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point, NC (All three cities are fairly democratic, with the first two giving Obama well over 60 percent of the vote, but nearly everything outside of these three cities is heavily republican; includes Yadkin County, the most republican county in the state.)
-Boise, ID (City narrowly voted D, suburbs near-uniformly R, especially Canyon County.)
-OK City and Tulsa, OK (The cities themselves are republican-leaning, but the suburbs take it to a whole new level, especially Broken Arrow and Edmond. The lone exception to this is Norman, which contains a major university.)
-Cincinatti, OH (Applies to both the OH and KY suburbs. a handful of exceptions exists, like some of the inner-ring suburbs on both sides, and the college town of Oxford in NW Butler County.)

Some metros with major republican areas:
-Some of the suburbs of Baltimore, MD (especially Carroll and Queen Anne's Counties, where Obama failed to win a single precinct.)
-The south side of the Denver metro area (Douglas and especially Elbert County.)
-Every county in the Milwaukee metro area outside of Milwaukee County (Which went well over 60% for both McCain and Romney.)
