Finally, Robert Cantrell has decided what he wants to be when he grows up - a Democrat.
Cantrell, the man who professed for years he was a Republican, has come out and made it official. He will become a Democrat, one of the most unsurprising political announcements of the century by this long-time Republican Party chairman of East Chicago.
Presumably with a straight face, Cantrell said he won't be a sideline Democrat. As if it were ever otherwise. Even he admits that.
He actively helped fellow Democrat Thomas Philpot win the primary race for county clerk. In his own words, "I was Philpot's main man."
He also was a contributor to the campaign of another Republican-turned-Democrat - Thomas McDermott Jr., who won the Hammond mayoral race over incumbent Republican Duane Dedelow Jr.
So, after years of denying the obvious, Cantrell becomes a Democrat. Can this be a prelude to becoming an official City Hall member of the McDermott entourage?
Your opinion, please
Should Robert Cantrell be given a job in the administration of Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr.?
