The comparison to the Goldwater movement, while an interesting idea, does not hold water.

Comparing Mitch Daniels to Barry Goldwater? Laughable. We only wish we had a Goldwater running in 2012.

Indiana Gov.Mitch Daniels,a potential Republican presidential candidate credits his success in government to the business skills he learned as Eli Lilly Senior Vice President for Corporate Strategy and Policy.
The Eli Lilly *Viva Zyprexa" scam occurred 1996-2003 so Mitch Daniels was 4 years into the thick of it,reaped $21 million from Lilly stocks.
Eli Lilly's #1 cash cow Zyprexa drug sale $40 billion dollars so far,has a ten times greater risk of causing type 2 diabetes over the non-user of Zyprexa. So,here we have a conflict of interest that this same company also is a big profiteer of diabetes treatment.
FIVE at FIVE
The Zyprexa antipsychotic drug,whose side effects can include weight gain and diabetes, was sold for children in foster care, people who have trouble sleeping, elderly in nursing homes.
Five at Five was the Zyprexa sales rep slogan, meaning 5mg dispensed at 5pm would keep patients quiet.
It's as addictive as tobacco,because withdrawal is accompanied by severe insomnia for 6 weeks.
