'''Barry Morris Goldwater''' (1909-1998) was a [[United States]] [[Senator]] and the [[Republican]] nominee for [[President]] in 1964. While often credited with reinventing the Republican Party after Presidential Election defeats in 1960 and 1964, and hailed as a Conservative hero by many (who gave him the nickname "Mr. Conservative"), many of his viewpoints would be considered more centrist, or even slightly liberal to modern-day US Conservatives.
