Yea I'm pretty sure Cincinnati (the city itself) went for Bush both times, correct me if I'm wrong though.
The last election was a pretty strong win for the Democrats and I don't think we'll see them win by as large a margin again in a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if many cities with a large number of blue-collar whites start voting much more Republican, especially with the power of labor unions greatly dieing down. Cities like Pittsburgh and Buffalo are already trending right and I wouldn't be surprised if it goes for the GOP in three or four more presidential elections. I think Cinci will also return to voting for the GOP in 2012, as well as cities like Grand Rapids, Omaha, Indianapolis, etc.
I don't think Indianapolis will go red in 2012, but I do think Indiana will.
All such lists have flaws, and I don't know this source well, but what I read of it last time it sounded plausible. Most of the counties they list are suburban though, but I think there are a few urban ones.
Cincinnati suburbs are pretty conservative, but almost all of the urban areas are strong Democrat areas. Before the elections, there was Driehaus signs everywhere around the Clifton/downtown areas.
