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.

[MamaLucci]

Romney needs to not let McCain off the hook on this......he needs a knockout punch!

[exit82]

McCain said he questioned Romney’s ability to wage a war on terror, and says he has said that many times....

What a slimeball!

[Romneyfor President2008]

California is not WTA, so Romney will take a big chunk of CA, especially Southern California. Northern California is liberal Democrat territory so they will go with McCain.

McCain said he questioned Romney’s ability to wage a war on terror, and says he has said that many times....

What a slimeball!

[TCats]

That McCain smirk is really irritating. Indicates a real inability to control himself.

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

Oh, and Mitt wasn’t a senator.

"Senator" was a pejorative during the Roman Empire.

"Senator" was also a pejorative in Italy during the Middle Ages.

This was for a reason.

People forget.
