does any metro area have a more generic voting pattern than the Twin Cities?

generic being inner cities heavily Democratic, inner suburbs slightly less so but still very Democratic, middle suburbs split almost 50/50, and outer suburbs heavily Republican.

Since I've studies the Twin Cities one's voting patterns so much, I can't find any metro quite so. The closest ones are Chicago and Cleveland, but so far it looks like the Twin Cities win this one.

  Milwaukee matches the Twin Cities, and so does Sacramento in terms of inner city being heavily Democratic, inner suburbs being 50/50 and ex urbs being heavily Republican. Cincinati is somwhat similar, but its voting patterns are almost entirely based on race now.

Milwaukee doesn't, the Republican areas start almost as soon as you leave the city proper. Cincinnati metro is also so Republican Gore didn't win a single county in it.

yeah most metros are like that, but there usually are some sort of deviations. My point is the Twin Cities is the most generic I've seen by far. You can almost certainly tell how a city votes by its proximity to the city center, unless it's one of those extremely wealthy pockets (like North Oaks)
