Some Republican primary candidates have stated that they will not remain in the primary race unless they have a good showing at the straw poll. Mike Huckabee has said he will reconsider his race if he does not get in the top half of the straw poll votes. Tommy Thompson has said he will step down from the race if he does not finish in the top two straw poll spots.
The three House members competing, Representatives Duncan Hunter of California, Ron Paul of Texas and Tom Tancredo of Colorado, have vowed to stay in the race, regardless of their placement in the Iowa Straw Poll<ref>http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=ap55FE7Ol9O8&refer=us</ref>.
