				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>14 hours after establishing odds for the 2012 Republican nomination, The Bench Jockeys have their first modification.  Haley Barbour has been downgraded to 15:1 from his opening 10:1 odds.  AP&#8217;s recent analysis of Haley Barbour&#8217;s work during his years as a lobbyist <span id="more-443"></span> is likely to provide his Republican adversaries some ammunition against him come campaign time, especially in early-season bell-weather Iowa.</p>
<p>Barbour Griffith &amp; Rogers advocated for Oxygenated Fuels Association, a fuel additives trade association which worked in opposition to the ethanol industry critical to Hawkeye voters.  In addition, Barbour&#8217;s firm represented the Mexican government on trade and immigration issues and helped a three Mississippi universities secure pork barrel federal funding.  Although all is fair in love, war and lobbying, as opponents unpeel this onion, Barbour will have some &#8216;splainin&#8217; to do.</p>
