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.

She is 90 years old and her staff should know better than to put her in the position of being photographed with the likes of this jackass.
Yes, you can catch him on the rerun.
Voting for Romney here in TN. I'm hoping FRed was so disgusted with McCain during this debate that he will come out and endorse Romney tomorrow!
Good. I can’t wait to vote for Mitt in TEXAS primary. McNuts told our beloved and conservative Senator Cornyn, F@@# You when our great Senator was trying to include an amendment that would protect us from the illegal invasion of gangs and criminals.
Well Senator McCain who will never get my vote F!@# You Too.
“I don’t regret sending him money last night after I got pissed off at McCain winning Florida.”
We are sending him money tonight.
Yeah, I know. But that look on his face in the screen-cap you posted ...

I’m surprised he didn’t endorse Obama.
“Perhaps? You haven’t read some of her posts then....”
I read several, just tryin’ to be as FRiendly as I can and not get my rear-end kicked outta here.
My apologies!
Yes, you’re right. Well, he hasn’t endorsed him yet, but CCN says he will in the morning.
His face? I’m sorry...cheap shot....too much scotch to dull the pain of what’s happening to conservatism
ok, thanks - for the 1,000,001th time. He looked worse tonight than in the previous debate. But his coloring was much better.
That would make me very pleased with him.

Thanks
That’s my “French mime in a glass box” graphic version of the earlier .gif
It fits McCain perfectly
I need to do some more in that style
He is splitting the conservative vote with Huckabee.
Uh, did you read the interview??
I'm not watching (no cable, and I don't want to add more stuff to my computer) but is it possible Huckabee has come to realize that a VP slot wouldn't be worth the cost of a McCain win?
MSM will cover for McCain as long as they can. It is too much to hope that many people who will be voting on Tuesday actually watched this debate. Now if this was Oprah...they would watch. Sad isn’t it?
He means people elect governors president, usually, rather than senators.
Mostly because senators have track records in Washington that tend to make them responsible for the mess we are in at the time of the presidential elections.
