By capital I mean HIGH PRIORITY. In charge of the best of everything.

My OPINION
West - Las Angeles
South - Houston
Midwest - Chicago
Northeast - Philadelphia
Who? How? What? Why? When?

Have you heard of New York City?

My OPINION
West - Los Angeles
South - Houston
Midwest - Chicago
Northeast - Philadelphia

I forgot to add why

Los Angeles because in the west L.A. has everything. I mean it is a world class city and I think it is respected by the other cities in the west as well. Never been to L.A. but know enough about it and other cities.

Houston - Honestly because the population is the biggest city proper. Houston is debated with Atlanta and Dallas by some so either or.

Chicago - Nuff Said


Philadelphia - I have been to both new York City and Philadelphia and I feel Philadelphia is the right place to call a capitol. As before it served as our country's temporary capital so that is what gave it the edge for me.

Yea! I know some parts of Florida is southern, but the majority of the state isn't southern to me.
