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.

"Good point by Romney. People elect governors not senators. It’s true."

Certainly was true before the 17th Amendment, but that is a different matter.

Every time Ron Paul speaks he reminds me of Frederick March at the end of “Inherit The Wind”...

If the flopper has flipped to the right side, should we trust him?

John Kerry was called a flip-flopper because he would switch sides on the same issue repeatedly. On what issues has Romney flip-flopped (gone A-B-A) rather than just flipped?

Romney is closer to Reagan, than McCain, or Hillary or Obama. And he looks good too. In fact I think Romney looks better than Reagan. ha.

Ya got me.

If I had the answer to that, I’d have been Duncan Hunter’s campaign manager.

I don't want to see John taken down, if Mitt can't win.

On one hand a Hillary Presidency may usher in a new era of conservatism into congress in 2010. On the other hand, she will immediately overturn "Don't ask don't tell", she will introduce socialized medicine, implement MANDATORY PRESCHOOL, and roll back our progress in the middle east. We can't afford two years of the witch.

I will vote for Mccain if he is the nominee although I don't support him now.

because she doesn’t like Romney? That makes her a bot?

She is just throwing mud without any specifics to back it up.

>Hunter proved to be an amateurish loser... sorry.

Your comments still don’t alter the truth.

Willard is lying.
