RIP Pat Caddell.

He will be missed.

After his Carter misadventure Pat Caddell became one of the good ones. He was usually far more conservative than most Republicans.

Sad. Respected this guy. Understood the populist movement & the rise of Trump.

I liked the guy. Seemed an honest sort. Always sure to give his passionate opinion instead of falling on party line. And in fact I appreciated his criticisms of his party ;D. Courageous man. Prayers for his family.

Always had great respect for him and would be certain to pay attention when he was on. May he be embraced warmly by his Creator.

I sure liked him

He and Powell were the Bolivian Brothers of the Carter White House

Toot on bra

Yes, RIP

Caddell was the one who broke the news to Carter before the 1980 election that all was lost

Insprit?...Can't even afford a decent spell checker!

Actually, they spelled it inspirit - which is right.

Okay, I guess. I forgot this is the "high-falutin'" New York Crimes we're talking about. I think the word "inspire" would have been sufficient there, but probably not for the elite that read that Lobster wrap (too high class for regular fish, after all!)

Remember, in those days, Carter was attempting to appeal to Conservatives (in 1976, at least). Caddell was not a left-winger.

They say that you can say at least one good thing about everyone. The one good thing I can say about this guy is that he gave us Ronald Reagan.

RIP...I am saddened to learn of this. He was one of the few who xould transcend partisan BS and address the issues with intellectual honesty.
