" In looking at the Blue states, they comprise the largest cities in the country - Detroit, New York, Baltimore, etc."

The largest cities are:

1. New York
2. Lost Angeles
3. Chicago
4. Houston

Any number of other cities are big, bigger than Baltimore. Try Phoenix, San Diego, even San Jose perhaps.
