RIP
Sorry to hear this. He was one of the last reasonable Democrats. Rest in Peace, and prayers to comfort his family.
RIP... He was one of the good guys. A democrat but an honest man.
Father God, receive Thy servant Patrick.
RIP, DripLip. The only honest Democrat (I nicknamed him DripLip because his beard looked like he dribbled milk down one corner of it.
Caddell was about the only Democrat willing to criticize Clinton for his adultery-esque behavior. Him and Holy Joe Lieberman.
Wow - his last tweet was January 2016 - had he been ill that long?
Llosa to us more then the Libs
Yes, he was an honest and decent man. Said what he believed in his latter years, even when it made things much harder for him.
RIP, Mr. Caddell.
I vividly remember Pat saying with great indignation that “the media is the enemy of the American people” during the 2012 presidential campaign. He was spot on.
RIP
Per Wikipedia he was Dem candidates at least through Jerry Brown in 1992. But from the same source here’s a tidbit on him from 1987 that could hardly be more relevant to the Trump campaign:
According to a 1987 profile in the Washington Monthly:
“Caddell believes the key to winning contemporary elections is appealing to ‘alienated’ voters—that ever-growing group of mostly younger voters who are not easily identified as liberal or conservative and don’t trust government, politicians, or the parties. You can’t lure these voters with programs and stands on specific issues, so the theory goes. Rather, you must remain as uncommitted as they are. You lure them by attacking that which caused their alienation: the Establishment. Even if he were inclined to help his candidate address the nation’s substantive problems and articulate a coherent package of solutions, he’d have trouble.”[5]
A d’rat who was straight forth and (Surprise!)trusted...period
RIP, Sir. You were one honorable man in a mob of vigilantes.
If there were only other choices which you might have made.
Your party did not deserve you.
So sad to hear; I always enjoyed hearing him talk, he seemed to be a genuinely nice guy.
His is a voice that will be missed.

He knew what the Dems had become!
Very sad news.
Insprit? The New York Slimes must be losing a ton of money. Can't even afford a decent spell checker!
One of the last honest Democrats.
Ugh. One of the last sane pollsters. He was always a breath of fresh air to listen to. RIP.
Very sad. He was a good guy.
