Here's an attempt at a map, using this site's 1994/2000 layout, and info from here (

So basically, the Juneau area really really wanted the capital in Juneau. Anchorage wanted the capital in Wasilla, and the rest of the state didn't want the capital in Wasilla.
A short history of moving the capital of Alaska:
http://www.gov.state.ak.us/ltgov/elections/capmove.htmRejected capital moves
1960 - The Cook Inlet-Railbelt area
1962 - "Western Alaska, to a site not within thirty miles of Anchorage"
1974 - "a new Alaskan capital city (..) in Western Alaska at least thirty miles from Anchorage and Fairbanks."
1982 - Moving the Capital to Willow
1994 - Moving the Capital to Wasilla
2002 - Moving the state legislature to the Matanuska-Susitna Borough
In conclusion, Juneauians want the capital in Juneau, Anchorageites want the capital close to Anchorage, Fairbanksians want the capital close to Fairbanks but not near Anchorage, and the rest of the state supports the status quo.
