Being possibly on the younger side of the average poster here, Goldwater for me was just one of the more well-known "also-rans".
Did not know this little factoid: "By the 1980s, the increasing influence of the Christian right on the Republican Party so conflicted with Goldwater's libertarian views that he became a vocal opponent of the religious right on issues such as abortion, gay rights and the role of religion in public life"
I like him more already.
