Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has picked up endorsements from six New Hampshire lawmakers who previously supported Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) 's presidential bid.

From The New Hampshire Union Leader:

The six state lawmakers endorsing Cruz are: Rep. Max Abramson of Seabrook, Rep. Eric Eastman of Nashua, Rep. Harold French of Franklin, Rep. Larry Gagne of Manchester, Rep. JR Hoell of Dunbarton, and Rep. Mark McLean of Manchester....

I had a feeling that the constitution minded libertarians would go this way.

As expected. Now we shall see how many Libertarians/Constitutionalists there are in NH

All six of Paul’s backers now support Cruz?

I believe Rand was at or around 5% in most polls. That is not insignificant.

Woohoo! Go Cruz Go!!

It's not significant when you consider 95% of the respondents want someone else.
I live in Kentucky. Rand has been a good senator, except when he endorsed McConnell last election. I will vote for him again but not for president.

Pretty sure I read earlier today that Rep. JR Hoell of Dunbarton categorically denied endorsing Cruz. I’ll have to find the article.

(This article was updated to remove state Rep. J.R. Hoell’s name as an official endorsement. The Dunbarton Republican said he supports Cruz on the Second Amendment, but is not officially endorsing the Texas senator based on his foreign policy views.) - See more at: http://www.unionleader.com/Ted_Cruz_wins_over_some_Rand_Paul_supporters_in_NH#sthash.1YJ7QYQz.dpuf
