Patrick Caddell, a pollster for Jimmy Carter who later became a writer, consultant and co-producer on The West Wing, among other TV and film work, has died. Caddell died Saturday in Charleston, South Carolina, after suffering a stroke, Professor Kendra Stewart of the College of Charleston, told The Associated Press. He was 68.
Caddell began his political career in the 1970s, working with Carter and other Democratic candidates before becoming a conservative pundit in recent years, becoming an informal adviser on President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, via a close relationship with Steve Bannon. He also was a contributor to Fox News from 2009 to 2016, appearing on Hannity and Fox Report with Shepard Smith, among other programs.
Caddell first worked with 1972 Democratic nominee George McGovern, then joined with Carter in the mid-1970s, eventually helping propel Carter to his longshot win for the presidency.

In an op-ed published last week, Fox News Channel contributor and former Democratic pollster Pat Caddell tore into the unauthorized biographer of Fnc President Roger Ailes, Gabriel Sherman. Caddell took exception to Sherman’s attempts to reach out to him directly seeking clarification and called him an embarrassment to both his employers and the profession of journalism. For good measure, Caddell published in his op-ed an email which he had received from Sherman in full.

The footage is hilarious for a couple of reasons: for one, they're pretty much saying the same thing — Congress is "screwed up."

Fox News' Democratic analysts have thrown President Obama under the bus: Doug Schoen and Pat Caddell suggested this weekend that the Democratic Party must cut off its head to stand a chance in 2012.
