Alaskan capital to be moved from Juneau to Anchorage?

[Cubby]

I support moving the capital to Wasilla. It was a bad decision to put the capital in Juneau. Its so unbelieveably isolated its laughable. I understand that people from outside Anchorage don't want more power to be brought to that city, but its illogical to have a small town in an extremely distant corner of the state be the capital. People's aversion to change when it comes to political boundaries never ceases to amaze me.

If we were serious about effecient geography, we'd give the archipeligo from Juneau to Ketchikan to British Columbia. But if we can't even change a capital within an existing state, then that'll never happen.

What about making the Panhandle its own state?

Heck, it would be winnable for Democrats in good years.

Not enough people. (According to the Constitution, all you need is 60,000, which they might have) but realistically, you'd need a lot more than that to form a state.
