In light of the recent acquisitions and mergers of Raleighs corporate heads should the city go on the offensive and try to lure headquarters in or try to grow them domestically.  I am almost shocked and a little bewildered at the news that has taken place over the last couple of months concerning the city. Not that its all doom and gloom but certainly the current streak cant sit well with the city leaders.  Given the areas many advantages such as RDU, universities and RTP one would think Raleigh would have a little more corporate power punch to it.  Can sombody do a comparison with other state capitols in regards to F500 HQs.  Or is it another tug of war thing between the states big 3 for upward mobility playing out again?

I don't think using other state capitals in terms of F500 capitals as a basis of comparison is valid since not all of them are created equally, even throughout the South. The closest comparison in terms of the makeup of the local economy would probably be Austin which only has two.
