Alaska: Anchorage a good bellwether? + Examination of boroughs

[barfbag]

Dont mean to be blunt, but Anchorage is a good bellwether because over 1/3rd of the state lives there

That's a good point.  I still don't think Alaska will move any further to the middle than likely Republican or light red though.

I'm not arguing either way, simply pointing out that its pretty obvious that Anchorage will go the way the rest of the state goes given the cities large population.

Probably but has Anchorage itself voted Republican in the past?

It's funny to think of a city being so red, but it is Alaska where things are wild.

Yes it has, it likely voted republican every time since 1968 given that Alaska has been a solidly safe state for a most of its statehood. 1964 is the only time it went D and probably the only time Anchorage went D.
