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.

Well, Reagan was a dem at first... wasn’t he?
the people at the library should booo mcPAIN
McCain obviously has mental problems!
Romney’s answer was ten times better than McCain’s.
I wish Huckabee would have been brought into the debate a little more tonight. He has made very good points tonight. In my opinion, his best performance to date.
So McCain is saying Ronald wouldn't support him. Thanks, John, for stating the obvious.
txflake is a flake for RINO Romney
Romney is no Reagan
You tell romney about Reagan John
Principles
Romney doesnt havee any
Very well...I have to give Huckabee credit for that very, very good answer.
Romney has what 430? lobbyists WORKING FOR HIM
Yes, I want him taken down now, but if he is the nominee he needs to be in one piece.
That’s because he’d look good in anything. He is a fine looking man, I’ll give him that.
#####
And looking better all the time!
McCain is too stupid to handle national security. The way he has run his campaign, his political career and his personal life are proof. Not to mention his policy decisions.
“Ronald Reagan wouldn’t approove of somebody who changed their positions”- McCain
Yeah, kinda like somebody who just said they wouldn’t vote for their own immigration bill.
McCain is a joke. If he gets the nomination, I will do everything I can to make sure the GOP looses the WH.
McCain talking about Ronald Reagan.
Hope the lightning rod system is working.
What’s this nonsense about McCain being a footsoldier in the RR revolution. Where was he in 1980?
“Of course private sector baaad, government gooood”
Except for the money made in the private sector by his father-in-law. Honestly, some of these senators really make sure they find the rich 2nd wives.
Calling Dr. Phil!
And that is truly a great sign that our country is really in trouble. If you think having the government stay out of our lives, reducing regulations and reducing taxes is funny--that's very sad.
