I based the poll on the population of the city proper. I always placed Omaha and Albuquerque as large cities, hence a population of 400,000. I'll make some edits.
Well Albuquerque City Proper is: 518,271
Albuquerque-Rio Grande Valley Metro: 835,120
The metropolitan area hasnt quite hit a million yet so most people consider it as a mid-sized city.. than a large city like san jose that has 989,496 and a metro of 7,264,887
I'd also argue that Minneapolis doesn't belong on the list. It isn't really a mid-sized city...
Well why dont you think it belongs on the list?
The Minneapolis City Proper has: 369,051
I think of a city of 50,000-200,000 should be under a smaller city category
and a city of 300,000-500,000 should be a middle sized city category
and a city of 600,000-so on.. should be considered a larger city category

I actually agree with this logic. So I'm sad to see us put on the list. I remember seeing a picture thread of medium sized cities and Omaha was not included for good reason.
Yeah, Minneapolis/St. Paul has a metro of several million and I believe is in the top 20 in the US population wise. I'd throw them a notch up. I'd say a mid-sized city is something with a metro of around 500k through a million-ish. I'd say anywhere from Lincoln, NE to Richmond, VA (I think 1.2 million) counts.

your method of calculation is flawed, since Pennsylvania cities (exception of pittsburgh and philly) are unable to annex surrounding areas. Resulting for example according to your calculation of Harrisburg having a 50k population, while in reality the MSA is 600k, putting it in mid sized city range.
That's why you have no PA mid sized cities.
