You Make the Call

As former 38 year Massillon Democratic elected officeholder Frank Cicchinelli was blinded by the light of 'Independence' on his road back to the mayor's office, an office he sees as rightfully, and perpetually his, some would argue he has made a few detours.

As we have been told, to run as an Independent, a prospective candidate for election must actually be an Independent.

Is our 'Extraordinary' former mayor truly repentant of his once Democratic political philosophy?

Has he seen the light, after 3 and 1/2 years of wandering the political desert after being slain by 'that woman' in the 2011 Democratic primary?

Is he 'Independent,' because his political philosophy has changed over time, and he no longer subscribes to the Democratic party philosophy?

or

Has he cloaked himself in the veil of 'Independence,' so he might navigate a return to what he sees as rightfully his, the office of mayor in the City of Massillon?

Did he avoid a Democratic primary he could never win?

Did he escape a process where he could never obtain 50% of the vote in any scenario only to enter a process where a more achievable 30% of the vote could once more make him a winner?

The question becomes, is Frank Cicchinelli truly an Independent, or is he merely trying to game the system to use his 'Independence' to back door his way back into the mayor's office?
