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.

I just cannot see how Paul and his wacky notions have any chance to get the GOP nomination and if he splits off for a 3rd party run, he cannot win.
Please explain how I am wrong without telling me I just have to believe?

I wonder if McCain could make the words “my friends” sound any more forced and condescending than he does.

Unfortunately, Romney hit it out of the ball park in the last debate and that didn’t get him a win...:( Something is SERIESLY wrong with our nation. Bummer! Come Texas Primary I’ll cast my vote for Romney. But if left with no choice come November I will cast my vote for that IDIOT RINO...ugh that just ticks me off! I have no choice, I have to vote for the bumbling idiot Dole look-alike! I refuse to sit this one out and let the SHE-DEVIL or OSAMA win the WH! NO WAY NO HOW!

If The Terminator is pimping for McCain, that just shows you that Arnold knows that McCain will never be tough on illegal immigration.

And here I actually wanted to hear something fresh other than that tired old chant that it all went to hell when
they amendmented the Constitution to allow the income tax, direct election of senators or giving women the vote!
Flame away--
But I'd really like to hear some real politic here, not platitudes or cliches

Mitt needs to come out with brass knuckes and remind everyone of:
McCain/Feingold
McCain/Kennedy
McCain/Lieberman
Gang of 14
Keating 5
Mitt needs to jab a hot poker into McCain's arse and hold McCain accountable for his heinous track record against conservatism

McCain will be creamed with his comment about not understanding how the economy works as much as he should. Pretty dumb of him to say that.
Allan Colmes was defending McCain a few days ago. It was some comment McCain said about Putin being the leader of Germany. Colmes and the other dem on the panel were very forgiving, said anyone can make mistakes. Funny, I never heard that from the dems when the president would make a faux pas.
