Some of these that are being said are likely exaggerated, although I don't have numbers to back me up.

My guesses:

San Diego
Phoenix
Jacksonville
New Orleans

And that's about it. Cities like Pittsburgh, Las Vegas, San Antonio, Tampa, Indy, Pittsburgh...these would have been good guesses in the 80's, 90's, and early 2000's, but their trends would indicate that most whites in these cities are voting Democratic now.

My sister goes to Butler, and I would be SHOCKED if Romney didn't win Indianapolis Whites.

I can't see Romney winning South Bend whites. I know its a catholic college town, but its still a college town.

And White Catholics are still more Democratic than White Protestants.

Fort Wayne whites are defiantly republican. Indianapolis has to be pretty close, but this is because the inner suburbs are part of the city.

You'd probably know more than I would, but when I've visited (about four or five times now), Indianapolis seemed like a VERY Republican city.

Fort Wayne City Council has to be one of the most right-wing city councils of any major city in America.

That doesn't necessarily say that much.  Republicans have 100% control of the San Diego city council and only one vote short in LA, if I remember correctly.

This is only semi-relevant, but I thought I'd drop it in.  My sister goes to Butler, a very White private school in Indianapolis.  She sent me some screenshots of this app that anonymously asks questions of people in and around the campus area and updates the results.  Anyway, here were the political party results:

48% Republican
28% Democrat
24% Independent

Again, this is skewing upper-middle class and White, but I thought I'd share it.  Every time I'VE been in Indianapolis, it has seemed quite Republican, and she said her friends from there have said most Whites are GOP-leaning, but I'm imagining their parents don't live downtown (they do live in the city, though, not the suburbs).

I can tell you for a fact that Whites in Peoria did not.  Obama won Peoria County by a sliver, and it's 18% Black.

Well Obama won Peoria County, Illlinois 51-47%. I couldn't get data for just the city voting in 2012 on Wikipedia.

But given the Black population, Whites clearly went Republican.

Irrelevant to this, but Peoria's suburbs are ruby red, too.
