Political bits

ABC's Blotter looks at Fred Thompson on the Nixon tapes.
"Our approach is now, we've got a pretty good rapport with Fred Thompson. He came through fine for us this morning," White House counsel Fred Buzhardt says on a tape from June 6.

"He isn't very smart, is he?" Nixon asks.

"Not extremely so, but --," Buzhardt says, interrupted by the president.

"But he's friendly," Nixon says.

"But he's, he's friendly," Buzhardt echoes.

"Good."

(WaPoblog) Dan Bartlett trashes every Republican candidate but Giuliani at the US Chamber of Commerce meeting. (I guess with Giuliani the frontrunner, it's time to start angling for positions in his administration.)

(ABCNews) Obama, Edwards, Richardson, and Biden have all pulled out of the Jan. 15 Michigan primary. "All of the Democratic candidates already have agreed not to campaign in Michigan because it broke Democratic National Committee rules when it moved its primary ahead of Feb. 5."

(Politico) Clinton will stay on the ballot.

(Politico) After promising New Hampshire was a priority, Fred Thompson hasn't been in NH in over a month. The Union Leader is keeping track.
