Anchorage is not far off the state mean in terms of how it votes (as a whole, including the MatSu like burbs in the northeast of the official city-borough), but it's not a bellwether in that the state doesn't swing reasonably uniformly or anything.

Was this hard to find?

(the map on wikipedia is evidently based on my math here!)

I think these are day-only. Since the 2000s 3rd and 4th district were identical in territory to the city of Juneau as it stood then, we know the correct 2008 result for Juneau, and it's 56.0% to 40.9%.

Nope, that's not what happened. It's a classic case of GOP scaring away its last minority voters.
