"oil prices plummet, corn suffers." Easy conclusion and wrong! Ethanol is an anti-knocking additive. Oil down, additive is still going to be used.

Dems reason: One USD that goes to Iowa. Is one less USD going to Chavez, Nigeria, Canada and Saudi Arabia.

Farmers vote in US elections. Chavez and other don't. If you start adding complexities to the ethanol issue, you are going to see that the conclusion is much different than the easily reached one.
