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.

McCain wants to make the tax cuts permanent, says he voted for them twice.

Didn’t he originally vote against the tax cuts?????

Yes, it is. I would not be surprised if the little creep leaked the questions to McCain ahead of time so the little weasel could prepare somewhat coherent answers.

Sounds like McCain is having a hard time remembering all of the Republican-sounding catchphrases he’s memorized over the last week or so.

Anderson Cooper is even worse than Russert and Williams, he wants to debate with every candidate rather than let them debate with each other

I don’t like this sitting down format. Makes it look like a meeting more than a debate. Mitt looks better standing up rather than sitting in some little chair. How can Mitt attack McCain in this format?

"Let's have some straight talk."

The way he uses this like a Bart Simpson catch-phrase is unbelievably tacky.

So far the tone of this debate. Ask leading negative questions and try to get the candidate criticize President Bush.

Yes, McCain was one of only two Repubs who voted against the tax cuts, iirc.
