Boston is not liberal. Read a Boston newspaper. Listen to Boston radio.
DC is not liberal. Again, read a DC newspaper or listen to DC radio.
Philadelphia is much more liberal than Boston or DC. San Francisco is more liberal than Philadelphia.
Listen to the radio??
Obviously you aren't going to find a liberal voice on talk radio but that is a given. Besides, even if it wasn't for politics, talk radio would still suck.
Boston's one and only one sort of legitimate newspaper (The Globe) is extremely liberal. The Herald doesn't count. I suggest you put down the paper and radio actually talk to the people in Boston. It is certainly one of the most "liberal" (in the modern american sense) cities in the country.
Washington DC has a lot of conservative people from elsewhere and a lot of conservatives in the suburbs but DC proper is overwhelmingly black. which might imply some socially conservative ideas but also means it is a democratic stronghold.

Exactly, and even the DC suburbs are extremely liberal (especially in MD), more so than say the neighboring Baltimore suburbs. It's not even just the black pop. in DC that makes it liberal also, the ratio of blacks to whites is rapidly declining (in 2000 30% of the city was white, in 2005 it was 35%). DC is at least in the top 5 for liberal cities, which can be seen in everything from from it's very large LGBT representation to its (former) gun ban. Also, as you mentioned the Globe, the very liberal Washington Post (by far the dominant print media source) would be it's equivalent in DC, while the conservative Washington Times (which holds are very small market share) would be the Herald's equivalent.
From what I've read DC also has a significant "black gay" population and is on the verge of allowing same-sex marriage.
Doubt it. Any city with a large black population is going to most likely go democratic; however, blacks are the most religious and conservative people you can ever meet.
