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.

Thanks, I didn't realize that. I hope he takes MOST of California. After watching nasty, dirty, smarmy McInsane during this debate tonight, I REALLY want Romney to win. I'll be voting for Romney in Connecticut on Super Tuesday!
Excuse my stupidity, what does that mean:)
It’s CNN.
Is it just me, or does Ron Paul give the same exact response to every question?
She's going for a single-day record for anti-Romney attacks. This is her pre-Super Tuesday spam shock-and-awe.

Asking the Huckster about Putin.
Excuse my stupidity, what does that mean:)
Whoa!! I can’t believe he said Rumsfeld was FIRED! I’d give any of the other candidates major bonus points if they’d call McCrazy out on his bashing of Donald Rumsfeld. McCrazy isn’t worthy to tie Rumsfeld’s shoes, and never has been.
McCain is right on the war, I’ll give him that. But like Bush he just can’t get it through his thick skull that an open border is an invitation to jihadist nuts.
McCain WON’T STOP... He’s gone mad!
Agree.
He did and he did; showed his true colors.
I know—ironic isn’t it—he was dead wrong on all counts, too.
That’s a good point. I don’t admire the Bush bashers either. I notice Mitt is careful not to do that. Good for him.
Correction, let RP speak on topics other than foreign affairs for once
LOL! That was a good one.
Huckabee talking about people’s eyes...can’t tell their soul by looking in their eyes...must look at their actions. Might not bode well for him if he is looking to be McCain’s VP...
“Putin’s eyes” question... dear Lord
