Am I the only person who finds it odd that McCain has 'all of a sudden' started polling well in Iowa without really advertising or making any campaign stops there? He had the endorsements early in the week but that could not push him all the way to 20%. 2 polls this week show he's well over double digits again. Seems off, at least to me

The polls right now are all over the place. It's difficult to determine trends based on the current polls. That may have something to do with the polling firms, or more likely the holiday season.

I do not find it odd that McCain is now polling well in Iowa because he was just endorsed by the influential Des Moines Register.
