For those so young that they only know CADDELL as a Faux employee who is unaccountably labeled "Dem" but whose permanent gig is to bash all things Democratic: His claim to Dem fame is that he was credited as the strategist/pollster responsible for Jimmy CARTER's win and he has been trading off that ever since 1976 while, at the same time, LOSING EVERY campaign he has touched, including the roll-out of the New Coke.
President CARTER's breast was a virtual nest of vipers: CADDELL; Tweety, who as a D.C. flunky worships SUCCESS, meaning he worships RAYGUN, and trashed CLINTON-GORE for a decade and lusted after Shrub for eight years; and David RUBENSTEIN, one of the co-founders of the Carlyle Group.
So this particular Dem candidate is challenging the current Dem, so maybe Coloradans(sp?) will delineate, but meantime for a Dem to WIN, first FIRE CADDELL...
But, wait, this STILL fits CADDELL's m.o.: (Still without my knowing these two Dems) There CADDELL is, working AGAINST a Dem current officeholder. (Besides putting the CADDELL curse on his own candidate.)

Colorado Democrat Andrew Romanoff's Senate campaign severed ties with strategist Pat Caddell Tuesday after video surfaced of the longtime Democratic adviser blasting environmentalists and labor, both critical constituencies in Colorado politics.
In a November appearance with conservative policy advocate David Horowitz, Caddell called the SEIU "thugs" and said environmentalists were out to "deconstruct capitalism."
Hours after a video of the comments was posted on the political website, ColoradoPols.com, the Romanoff campaign announced it had removed Caddell from its campaign team.
"Today a video was posted on ColoradoPols, in which Pat expressed views that were completely at odds with Andrew's campaign, his career and his commitment to the environment and to Colorado's working families. Andrew heard those comments for the first time this afternoon and ended Pat's role in the campaign," said Romanoff spokesman Dean Toda in a statement. ....
The flap comes at the same time the appointed Democratic senator he's trying to upend is also attempting to burnish his credentials with the progressive wing of the party.
Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) joined three other Democratic senators Tuesday in asking Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to use reconciliation, a controversial procedure requiring only 51 votes, to push for a public option in health care legislation. ....
