Glickman said that the capital—whose population is about 60 percent black??will likely gain representation at some point in the future, but the former Secretary of Agriculture said that because this contest will have little practical impact on who will ultimately garner the nomination, it is of very little interest to the candidates, who instead focus their efforts where the results count...
