Patrick Hayward Caddell, a political pollster who advised several Democratic presidential candidates but became a pundit on conservative media late in his career, and who was a singular voice in favor of channeling the antiestablishment sentiments of voters, died Saturday at age 68 from complications of a stroke, according to his daughter, Heidi Eichelberger.
Caddell was a savant, a visionary to some and a mad scientist to others, whose force of personality and brilliance kept him in the middle of presidential politics from 1972 to 1992, and a constant presence even after that. CONT.
