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.

Yes, and Mitt won the endorsement of the entire state of Massachusetts.

A state of liberals trumps an editorial board of liberals every time, IMO.

...CNN's Anderson Cooper moderating.

How many effing times is the GOP going to continue to let a partisan $OB like Cooper bait our candidates? Just say NO to leftist MSM moderators!

He has no chance of getting the GOP nomination.

Super Duper primary states voted already? Guess I put the wrong date in on my DeLorean time machine.

He’s going for a third party challenge and that’s why he’s still in the race: to raise money and get the free publicity before he walks out of the GOP.

It's too late for him to go on the ballots and get signatures. He's already played the 3rd party game in 1988. He's not stupid enough to fall for it again knowing that he'll get further blacked out than he is now and won't get invited to the fall debates.

McCain lies and says that STRONG conservatives support him....

Romney now setting McQueeg straight on facts. Sounding Presidential and even keeled. Taking McQueeg to school on where McQueeg wrong......

McCain sounded like the smarmy SOB he really is.

If I may say something without being cursed out, and dumped on by the moderator, I am not better off than I was 8 years ago, Eight years ago I had a wife, two legs, and was eight years younger.

Bush's fault.

“McCain sounded like the smarmy SOB he really is.”

Indeed... and they complain about Dick Chaney smirking. McCain looks more arrogant than I’ve ever seen him tonight.
