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.

More McCain name dropping.
Riiiiggghhhht... McCain would be getting on the job training on the economy and everything else BUT the military.
“Sometimes people lost their jobs” LOL He wouldn’t know anything about that because no one in government ever loses their jobs.
Smarmy
The people voting for McCain don’t take time to watch debates or research the candidates.
The just read the MSM headlines and vote.
I know...IF I HEAR VIETNAM ONE MORE TIME.....AND TIMETABLES. I’M TIRED OF IT, MCPAIN!!!!
Ditto that
Here we go...McCain dropping names...what a loser.
George Bush and Ronald Reagan were also governors.
Hey John, Reagan was in the military but I think it’s a stretch to claim his miliitary experience was much more extensive than Romney’s. You’re falling flat bud.
Popeye the sailor is taking his sub down, down down...
Oh brother! People lost their jobs when Mitt sold his companies.
McCain is really an Ass.
Wow McCain is sleazy! His disdain for the economy’s producers is typical of a man who’s never spent anytime in the private sector.
McCain - “And sometimes people lost their jobs.” .... What a slime line.
Well, hello Pelham, long time...no talk....
Romney was a governor , just like Reagan.. a Winner. and President George W. Bush another winner.
Ok, Sorry if this has been mentioned but is the audio slightly off track? I feel like I’m watching a foreign movie. A trick on CNN’s part?
He’s one of the most over-bearing asses to come from AZ.
Haha.........AC cut off McCain’s rambling......
