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.

No this ain’t beanbag, and Cain is on the edge he is seriously angry right now, his face is red and he is jabbering like monkey that can’t reach the banana.
He's had numerous operations for skin cancer.
McCain’s back on the timetables again...
I wish Romney had said:
“In the world of CEO’s, “Timetables” are used for every action item in the project.”
Only in Washington does “Timetables” only mean cut and run.”
I haven’t been able to concentrate on her questions, but there was one that seem like she was rather astute.
Brilliant! You got me there John.
This is it. The last chance to tip the scales. At least McCain and Cooper by touting the direct quote helped make a new ad for Romney with McCain weakly restating his accusation.
Paul earned applause for pointing out how petty McCain was being.
McCain is just a bombastic, egomanical blowhard.
Well — if McCain was trying to draw conservatives in, he f’d that up by taking the low raod and refusing to admit that he ered in his statement about Romney and the time tables.
Let’s all go and wipe that smirk off McCain’s face. That will be his look at everyone if he becomes president. I hope America gets ticked off at him tonight. He’s such a jerk.
I thought so too.
Oh no, McCain griping about Rummy again!
Obviously.
Romney was against Reaganism, before he was for Reaganism. LOL
McCain just said Eisenhower didn’t get us out of Korea....
Now says that he was the only one who was against Rumsfeld and for Petraeus.
Who knows. The mans unstable.
He knew nothing about Petreaus’ strategy. He only said more troops, so did half the Demcrap party until we actually had ‘em.
My #1: I REFUSE to vote for
ANYone who trashes Pres. Bush.
There are plenty of great, brave
fighter jocks (+ some POW’s whom
I’ve known) who WOULD NOT make an
acceptable CIC.
McCain Mutiny is #1 on that list.
Exactly I bet Nimitz & MacArthur had a timetable to measure progress!
