2 top GOP hopefuls to skip Iowa straw poll:

Romney has claimed that he will win this poll due to Guiliani and McCain opting out. I think that is a blantant show of hubris, because, Boy! Won’t he have egg on his face in the event that he does not win.
Again, no mention of any of the so-called “2nd-tier” candidates, all of which have a shot at taking home top honors.
