Harder to think of states that don't have any conservative areas or any liberal areas...Maybe some of the plains/inter-mountain west states..... Wyoming, The Dakotas, Nebraska?
States with no conservative areas: Hawaii, Vermont
States with no liberal areas: Oklahoma
The reddest and bluest states right there. Everything else falls in between to some degree.
Im suprised nobody has said Pennsylvania. The entire state is red except the major cities (and they are very blue) of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. A few other counties are blue but 90% are red.

Outside Philly. I wouldn't call any area of Pennsylvania ultra liberal.
I would say Florida. Miami, Tampa, and Orlando are all islands of blue surrounded by vast seas of red.
That's a bit off. The Miami-Ft Lauderdale-West Palm Beach metro area, Key West-Monroe County, the Tampa-St Petersburg metro area, the Orlando metro area, Gainesville and Tallahassee are all blue and pretty big islands as the three metro areas mentioned are the 8th, 18th and 24th largest metro areas in the country respectively.

The entire state of Massachusetts also goes blue in presidential years although there are apparently enough moderates/independents to elect the odd Scott Brown/Charlie Baker..
Which states (Red, Purple, or Blue ones) contain an ultra-liberal and an ultra-conservative area that both constitute a significant proportion of its population?
The only state that comes to mind is Oregon, which used to lean slightly towards blue due to the heavily blue Portland metro and the heavily red regions east of the Cascades (though the latter region seems to have shifted a little more towards blue recently.)
Any other examples of states like this?
The Mississippi Delta is ultra-liberal because it's majority African American, while the White areas of the state are ultra-conservative, except in our urban areas, which are mixed politically. Not a whole lot of areas for third party candidates, unless you count Southhaven or Olive Branch with 5% each voting third party.

And Charlie is the most popular Governor in the country. Mass is a weird state, It's like a very business friendly blue state.
Most states have very conservative and very liberal areas, except for the New England states. The New England states are almost entirely blue counties, and the red counties are not that red.
Not neccessarily true Northern Maine, western Mass and all of New Hampshire are fairly conservative.
