MADISON, Wis. (AP) ? The early stages of the 2016 presidential race feature an unusual cluster of high-powered potential candidates hailing from the same states, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Rep. Paul Ryan among them.
Walker gained Republican Party cult-figure status when he beat back a labor union attempt to oust him from office last year. A few weeks later, Ryan shot into the GOP stratosphere as the party's vice presidential nominee. Now, party activists view both as having serious shots at the White House should they choose to run. And their decisions ? as well as those by pairs of New Yorkers, Floridians and perhaps even Texans ? might just come down to personal conversation between longtime friends and political allies.
"At some point people are going to have to make a choice," said Brandon Scholz, a former executive director of the Wisconsin GOP. "That's a really hard choice for Republicans in Wisconsin."
Party faithful in New York, Florida and Texas face a similar predicament, with at least two possible home-state presidential candidates sharing overlapping constituencies and common financial donors. It all means that many of their friends are left watching, waiting ? and, of course, prodding ? while each weighs whether to launch a campaign.
Hillary Rodham Clinton sits atop some early polls and is the favorite among Democrats if she runs. But insiders view a fellow New Yorker, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a former Cabinet member under her husband, President Bill Clinton, as a strong alternative if the former first lady bypasses another presidential campaign. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand also could be a possibility in a Clinton-free New York primary.
Florida has former Gov. Jeb Bush and his political protege, Sen. Marco Rubio, both of whom are keeping their options open for 2016. Several of their closest confidants have ties to both camps, and Bush works from offices in the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, just a two-mile drive from Rubio's West Miami home.
Texas has two potential Republican candidates, too: Gov. Rick Perry, whose 2012 campaign flamed out against Mitt Romney, and freshman Sen. Ted Cruz, a brash conservative who is headlining a GOP fundraiser in South Carolina on Friday that's stoking talk of a possible candidacy.
At this stage, few party loyalists expect such pairings to turn into full-fledged rivalries in the early primaries, or on debate stages. But the odd situation has forced many insiders in the potential candidates' home states to avoid playing favorites. And it has turned on its head the old notion that a state can serve as a springboard for only a single "favorite son" candidate. With online fundraising networks and the ability of wealthy donors to bankroll entire ad campaigns, multiple figures from a single state can emerge.
Rewind to 2012, when former Texas Rep. Ron Paul, a favorite among libertarians, and his home state governor, Perry, each had turns in the spotlight. Paul eventually outlasted Perry, who was staggered by poor debate performances and dropped out while the congressman stayed in the race, perhaps partly to lay the groundwork for a future presidential run by his son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul.
Also, in the last presidential race, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty got an early look from Republican loyalists, and Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., later rocketed to the ranks of contenders after winning a key Iowa test vote ? a moment that forced the ex-governor to fold his campaign. In Minnesota, there were same-state troubles from the start ? Bachmann's presence froze what had been expected to be a reliable home-state fundraising base for Pawlenty. Old factions in the state's Republican ranks resurfaced, fueling a rivalry that saw Pawlenty and Bachmann clash at debates.
Any friction in the 2016 campaign remains muted for now.
In Florida, there has not been much "pressure or arm-twisting at this point," said Brett Doster, a Tallahassee-based Republican strategist who has worked with both Bush and Rubio. But he said many are watching Bush, who as the brother and son of presidents has become a senior statesman in the party.
"Until he makes that decision I think you'll see a lot of people in Florida stay on the sidelines," Doster said.
In New York this week, Cuomo countered reports that he would automatically step aside if Clinton runs.
"Hillary Clinton is going to do whatever Hillary Clinton is going to do, and I'm doing what I'm doing," Cuomo told WCNY public radio in New York.
And it's been downright Midwest collegial in Wisconsin, where Walker and Ryan will share a stage this weekend at the state Republican Party convention in Wausau.
Just two years apart in age ? Walker is 45 and Ryan is 43 ? they grew up about 20 miles from each other. Both came of age in the 1980s during Ronald Reagan's presidency and flipped hamburgers at McDonald's in high school. Both have established national followings among conservatives: Walker for his push to curtail collective bargaining rights for public sector workers and Ryan as an intellectual leader in Congress.
"In a lot of ways they're blood brothers," said Phil Musser, a former executive director of the Republican Governors Association.
Walker said in an interview that the duo often exchange text messages two or three times a day and communicate by phone or email, trading everything from Bible verses to political advice. But he said they haven't talked about the possibility of running against each other in 2016.
Ryan also tamped down the 2016 talk in an interview, calling it "an eon away in politics. It's too far away to speculate about that."
Yet, both are seeking to make their mark on the national GOP in their own ways.
Walker is speaking at conservative events around the country. Starting this month, he'll attend fundraisers for Republicans in New York and Connecticut, headline a GOP event in Iowa and raise money in Beverly Hills, Calif., for the Republican Jewish Coalition.
Ryan is focusing on Capitol Hill legislating after being the vice presidential nominee, resuming efforts to balance the federal budget in a decade and reform Medicare, all while preaching prudence and pragmatism in speeches to conservative groups.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, a former Wisconsin GOP chairman, said he does not expect both Ryan and Walker to run for president, and he predicted "it will all work out for the best."
"I don't know what the outcome is going to be, but the one thing I know for sure is the Wisconsin fraternity is pretty tight and it's real," Priebus said.

CSN: Boston's five HRs help Buchholz reach 6-0
TORONTO -- For the month of April, Mike Napoli was the hottest hitter for the Red Sox and Clay Buchholz was their best starting pitcher.
Now that it's May, nothing has changed.
Buchholz dominated with seven shutout innings during which he allowed just two hits while Napoli slammed two tape-measure homers and accounted for half the Red Sox' runs in a 10-1 blowout of the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Sox belted five homers -- two from Napoli and one each from Stephen Drew, Daniel Nava and Mike Carp -- to give them 16 homers in five games against the Blue Jays this season. The club has 15 homers in its other 22 games combined.
In five games at Rogers Centre this season, the Sox have scored 36 runs -- and were shut out in one of those games.
Napoli had four RBI on the night, giving him 31 for the season.
Buchholz improved to 6-0 and lowered his ERA to 1.01 for the season. That's the lowest ERA for a Red Sox starter through the first six starts in a season since Roger Clemens had a 0.73 in 1991.
The Jays didn't advance a baserunner past first until Buchholz's final inning when Melky Cabrera singled Adam Lind (walk) to third base. They managed a run off Alex Wilson in the eighth to spoil the shutout bid.
AT A GLANCE
STAR OF THE GAME: Clay Buchholz
Buchholz tossed seven shutout innings and allowed just hits. It wasn't until his final inning of work that the Blue Jays got a baserunner into scoring position as Buchholz improved to 6-0 and lowered his ERA to 1.01.
HONORABLE MENTION: Mike Napoli
Napoli unleashed the power, with two tape-measure homers and a run-scoring double, accounting for 10 total bases and four RBI.
GOAT OF THE GAME: Mark Buehrle
The Toronto starter gave up five hits -- and three of them were homers -- as the Red Sox raced out to a 4-0 lead after four and 8-0 through the seventh, Buehrle's final inning of work.
TURNING POINT: The way Buchholz was cruising, the back-to-back homers by Napoli and Daniel Nava in the top of the fourth made it 4-0 and effectively pushed the game out of reach.
BY THE NUMBERS: With four homers in the first 27 games, Daniel Nava is one homer shy of matching his total for all of last season.
QUOTE OF NOTE: ''Obviously, pretty good.'' -- Mike Napoli, when asked how he bounced back from a four-strikeout night Tuesday night.

Allergan delays drug that would rival Regeneron's Eylea
By Esha Dey and Ransdell Pierson
(Reuters) - Allergan Inc said approval of its Darpin eye drug could be delayed up to two years, providing a new boost to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc whose successful treatment, Eylea, stands to gain from a lack of new competition.
Shares of Allergan, which makes wrinkle treatment Botox, fell 13.1 percent after the company said mid-stage trial results of Darpin did not warrant an immediate move into far larger late-stage trials. Regeneron shares closed up 10.3 percent.
If eventually approved, Darpin would also compete with Roche Holding AG's, Lucentis, to treat age-related macular degeneration - the most common form of blindness in the elderly.
Adnan Butt, an analyst with RBC Capital Markets, said Darpin's delay was "great news" for Regeneron. He noted that Wall Street had feared the Allergan drug might have a superior clinical profile to Eylea.
"This gives Eylea even more time to become entrenched as the drug to beat," Butt said.
He estimates that each year of Darpin delay will translate into an upside of about $15 to $20 for Regeneron shares, now trading at about $240.
Eylea, which was approved in November 2011, had sales last year of $838 million. Regeneron expects 2013 Eylea sales of $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion. Company officials would not comment on the setback for Allergan's drug.
Regeneron is expected to report first quarter results on Friday and could update its sales projections.
Allergan Chief Executive David Pyott said on a conference call that a mid-stage trial of Darpin showed some product differentiation over Lucentis, but did not support directly moving to late-stage development.
The company now plans to perform additional mid-stage trials to assess Darpin, which will delay its potential approval by one to two years.
"There was a rush to ascribe a lot of value to Darpin and our view is that this is still very much an unproven asset with limited data," Piper Jaffray analyst David Amsellem said.
"The earliest it could get to market now is likely 2019," Amsellem said. "If you couple that with the setback of the hair loss product, the late-stage pipeline for Allergan right now is really quite thin."
A mid-stage trial of Allergan's hair loss treatment Bimatoprost Scalp also failed to provide sufficient efficacy to proceed to a late-stage study, further weighing on company shares.
ROOM TO GROW
Regeneron in the past two years has vaulted seemingly out of nowhere to become one of the world's biggest biotechnology companies, thanks largely to Eylea.
The company has repeatedly raised its sales forecasts for the drug, which is injected into the eye, as it steadily steals market share from Lucentis.
Some specialty pharmacies also use Roche's Avastin cancer drug, which works the same way as Lucentis, but is far less expensive, when divided into smaller portions for treating macular degeneration.
Roche has said that dividing Avastin through a procedure not closely monitored by health regulators, called compounding, could compromise its sterility.
Regeneron Chief Executive Leonard Schleifer said in a recent interview that sales of Eylea could jump sharply if potential rivals stumble, or if U.S. regulators clamp down on the compounding of Avastin for eye use.
Moreover, he said some analysts believe Eylea sales could swell if it is approved for a new indication called diabetic macular edema now in late-stage trials. Lucentis is already approved for the condition.
"So Eylea is a growth story unto itself, with lots of room to still grow," Schleifer said.
Allergan on Wednesday also posted a higher-than-expected quarterly profit, helped by strong sales of Botox.
Net income for the first quarter fell to $12.5 million, or 4 cents per share, due to a loss of $259 million from discontinued operations. Profit was $229.8 million, or 74 cents per share, a year earlier.
Excluding special items, Allergan earned 98 cents per share. Analysts were expecting 96 cents, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Global company sales rose 8 percent to $1.46 billion, above Wall Street's average estimate of $1.44 billion.
Sales of Botox, which is also approved for treating migraine headaches, overactive bladder and underarm sweating, rose 15 percent to $457.9 million.
Allergan said it now expects 2013 adjusted earnings of $4.70 to $4.76 per share, compared with its prior outlook of $4.75 to $4.83 a share.
The company forecast a second-quarter profit of $1.18 to $1.20 per share, below analysts' average estimate of $1.22 a share. The new forecasts reflect the impact of its MAP Pharmaceuticals acquisition earlier this year.
Allergan shares fell $14.88 to $98.67 on the New York Stock Exchange, while Regeneron shares rose $25.15 to $237.29.
