A move to Anchorage would fail a popular vote. As it has before. A move to some new location outside the panhandle *might* pass.

They voted on Wasilla, not Anchorage, IIRC. (Of course, Wasilla is just outside Anchorage, but it's also at almost exactly the population center of the state.)

Isn't Wasilla Governor Palin's hometown?  Or the town she was mayor of when she ran for Lt. Governor in 2002?

I just looked it up, and she was indeed mayor of Wasilla, though her hometown is actually in Idaho. The vote on moving the capital was back in the 1980s, though.
