I excluded inner suburbs like Berkeley and Cambridge because everybody would choose them.

I vote Madison.

btw, Rochester and New Haven don't fall under "medium sized", they're both way too big. And Takoma Park is way too small.

Since Birmingham was listed as a "major" city, I listed places with a smaller population than Birmingham.

Perhaps I should have put "non-major city."

Madison, WI. From what I hear it's a big college town so that explains it.

hmmm, I was wrong about New Haven, a lot smaller than I though, but Rochester is barely smaller than Birmingham. Plus it's not even really that liberal compared to NY on a whole.

I lived in Ann Arbor since I attended school there, and yes, it's quite liberal. I think Madison has it beat though, as it has not only a campus but also all of the state government workers from the capital. State capitals tend to be liberal in general for that reason.

New Haven is far more liberal than I am, and that's where I am now.

East Lansing?

East Lansing is pretty liberal too, as is the state capital, Lansing.

Don't know about liberal, but it's not really that Democratic. Democratic, but not that Democratic.

East Palo Alto, CA, is another strong possibility.

You should probably exclude college towns like New Haven and Ann Arbor as well, since everyone will choose them.  In my state, Alexandria is the most liberal city by far. 

Burlington, Vermont is, in my opinion the most liberal mid-size city in the country.
