Walker's still working. All the other candidates are free to trapze from one state to another while Walker is still working for his state. Sure it would be easier for Walker if he were a Senator with little responsibility but that is not the path he chose. He is a nose to the grindstone type of guy which is what we need in the Presidency after a Senator who like always destroyed the country. Walker is really the only one that has the work ethic to get our country back on it's feet. He will announce sometime this Summer after his job is done.

Walker is buds with Branstad, and was likely going to follow Branstad’s wishes and stay away from the Straw Poll. The debate in Ohio and the RedState Gathering in Atlanta are more attractive venues for major candidates.

Ted Cruz would have won, thus, no straw poll.

Probably.
There’s no doubt that the Iowa GOP did not want Cruz to get any Straw Poll publicity. They can’t cancel the caucuses.
