Reagan Library Republican Presidential Debate: January 30, 2008
SIMI VALLEY, California (CNN) -- Republican presidential hopefuls will face off Wednesday night without a familiar face as ex-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is expected to drop out and endorse front-runner Sen. John McCain.
The remaining candidates will take the stage in a debate -- sponsored by CNN, the Los Angeles Times and Politico -- beginning at 8 p.m. ET Wednesday.
The event at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, follows McCain's Tuesday night win in the Florida primary.
McCain topped former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney 36 percent to 31 percent in the hotly contested race.
Giuliani placed third with 15 percent of the vote, followed closely by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee with 14 percent, and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas was fifth with 3 percent.
Giuliani is expected to end his White House bid and endorse McCain at a campaign event in California later Wednesday, Republican Party sources said.
Minus Giuliani, the debate will be a four-candidate affair -- McCain, Romney, Huckabee and Paul -- with CNN's Anderson Cooper moderating.

This gal is actually good....
CNN has an interesting graphic on their site. They’re showing live audience reaction. When Romney speaks it goes up, when McCain speaks it goes down. Wonder who they’re polling?
Get him Mitt!
I’d like a question to be asked about what are they going to do to level the field when it comes to trade with Communist China.
There is an approximately $250 BILLION EACH YEAR trade imbalance with Red China, and they are taking away our jobs, plus becoming a military Superpower with the $$.
Heh heh,good one.If Hillary becomes the Dem nominee her slogan will be “I Like Dykes.”
McCain is ready to lie about anything. He’s power-hungry! OOOh, Romney calling McCain on being an expert on Romney’s position!
Mitt! Smackdown!
Mitt is going off on Cain, good, about time,.
All protesting this does for Mitt is draw attention to his weakest, and McCain’s strongest, issue: Military and foriegn affairs. Romney will always lose this fight.
Romney is really tearing into McCain. Its about time someone started slapping him around a few times. McCain strikes back with Romney’s quotes. Mitt tries to butt in. Not good to have a fight like this in the Reagan library.
Go get him. Push him over that edge that he’s dying to go over.
PUNCH HIM OUT, MITT!!!!!!! YOU DA MAN!!!!!!!!
MITT ROCKS TONIGHT!!!
Crowd cheers Romney again-GOOOOO MITT!!!!!!
Exactly. Screw 20 years ago. McCain is running away from Reagan NOW
Keep it up Mitt.
Don’t let him lie about you
How is it that you’re the expert on my opinion?
GET ‘EM, Mitt!
McCrazy’s really looks and talks DRUGGED .. making NO
sense.
