I've usually been looking at Iowa Straw Poll news from more conservative sources, so it's interesting to see what is being discussed about the event over at Daily Kos.
"What should be signaled is not that the straw poll is less worthy than in years past, but that both Rudy and McCain are unwilling to pop the media bubble and enter a contest where they aren't assured of victory. Too bad they don't take that same attitude before risking the troops."
"Seeing the Republicans head into the primaries with divided strategies, underfunded state operations, and a "you can't lose if you don't play" attitude, is like watching boxcars jockey for position in a train wreck. Campaigns are already talking about a skip Iowa and Nevada and New Hampshire strategy, to focus on the cluster of big states. Sure. You do that."
"Perhaps the most honest thing the Republicans could do at this point really is to just forget the primaries and let W drop a tiara on Prince Freddy's pate. Then they can all forget this listening to the voters thing and go back to being Republicans."

Looks like a decent analysis of why McCain and Giuliani wimped out. Hopefully Iowa Republicans are paying attention to all this crud going on.
