(Updated 3:32 a.m., April 16) MANCHESTER, New Hampshire - Conservative Republican Senators Rand Paul and Ted Cruz tested the 2016 presidential waters at an event on Saturday in the influential state of New Hampshire at which potential opponents from the more moderate wing of the party did not appear.
The "Freedom Summit" rally was the latest in a series of stops for Cruz and Paul, who are hoping to win the favor of the party's right wing for potential White House bids.
The event was co-hosted by the Americans for Prosperity Foundation, a wing of the group funded by the conservative billionaire Koch brothers that is the single largest advertiser in the 2014 election cycle so far. Among other speakers was former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, who ran for the Republican nomination in 2008 and is seen as a potential 2016 contender.
Paul, a favorite among libertarians, cautioned Republicans against compromising.
"Some say we just need to dilute our message, let's just be a little more like the Democrats," the Kentucky Republican told the audience. "You think that's a good idea? Hogwash. It's exactly the wrong thing to do. Our problem isn't that we are too bold. Our problem is that we are too timid."
Among the leading moderate Republicans, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's 2016 prospects have been clouded by the "Bridgegate" traffic scandal, while former Florida Governor Jeb Bush appears in no hurry to join the race for the White House.
That has created an opportunity for others to try to make inroads in New Hampshire, the first-in-the-nation presidential primary state, where White House candidates often preview their campaign messages.
"You want to know why people are frustrated out of their mind in Washington? The biggest divide we have is not between Democrats and Republicans," Cruz, a Texas Republican, said at the event. "It's between entrenched politicians in both parties, and the American people."
While no politician has yet thrown a hat into the presidential ring, Cruz and Paul have been preparing for possible campaigns for months, undaunted by the Republican Party's reluctance to nominate a conservative in recent presidential elections.
Over the weekend, Cruz headlined two rallies for activists and voters with the New Hampshire Republican Party. Paul appeared at two fundraisers with the state party and one for a non-profit group that has funded ads against the re-election bid of the state's Democratic senator, Jeanne Shaheen.
