Senate vote calls candidates out of Iowa

I'm kinda shocked this article came from CNN..their actually showing the irony of a Democrat...they also misspelled chartering, unless there is such a thing as chattering an airplane..

WASHINGTON (CNN) — The presidential race in Iowa is in its final stretch, but four Democratic candidates plan on leaving the Hawkeye State Thursday morning to attend to their day jobs.

Sens. Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, and Barack Obama all plan to make the trip back to Capitol Hill for a Senate farm bill vote, and a procedural vote on an energy bill, aides to the senators tell CNN’s Jessica Yellin.

While the candidates are being diverted from the campaign trail, these are can’t miss votes for the presidential candidates. One deals with commodity payments to farmers — a big issue in Iowa — and the other calls for capping carbon emissions on automobiles — a popular proposal with the Democratic base.

But in a bit of irony, after presumably voting to lower carbon emissions, Biden, Clinton, and Obama are each chattering their own plane back to Iowa to make a Democratic debate at 2 p.m. ET. As of this writing, Dodd is still making his travel plans.

The irony I see in it...is their flying back to vote on a bill that will put the screws to the little peons in the country, then they all chatter a private jet to campaign...also on our dime....
