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.

McQueeg also calls himself conservative.
McCain’s trying hard to disguise his natural unpleasant personality. Instead, he just comes off as sedated.
Q to McCain: Gov SchwarzenKennedy and tougher enviro standards... do you side with the Arnold standard or the Bush admin....
McCain’s a federalist... blah blah blah... I applaud the governor’s efforts to elimate greenhouse gasses to stop climate change... if there’s no such thing as climate change, we’ve still made this a greener world... money to terror organizations, what kind of world would we have given to our children...
the children... the children...
*drinky-drink*
McCain making a case for his cap and trade program....
Suppose we do nothing—talking about getting out of our dependence on foreign oil.
Hey Senator—you’ve been in DC for 20 years—why did you vote against ANWR?
McCain, If GW is not real, all we have done is given our kids a cleaner world.
BS! you would pick our pockets and stymie industry!
McCain’s a “Federalist” he says, but in the same breath justifies a “global” decision on gorebal warming, even it turns out to be wrong! AAAArrrgh!!!
Hey! It’s Mr. O’Bigot!
get lost
Huck is smart to respect Rush now-it’s just that butt-kissing doens’t sway Rush’s rock-ribbed conservatism anymore than attacks do.
CNN probably won’t ask McCain about Rush cause they want him to win the nomination.McCain talking nice about Rush would only add to his great big gooey pile of lies.
You may be right but he often is off his medications.
McWhat’s His Name is up to his neck in lies!
Your logic above makes one believe the cow did jump over the Moon!
WE can only hope
I laughed out loud when he claimed that he was a Federalist.
It would be funny were it not so sad.
Global warming, green technologies?!?! Why are environmentalist wackos invading our party???
If I were Romney, I would say, “Senator McCain, you not only reached across the aisle to the other side, but you also SURRENDERED across the aisle to the other side!”
Yes.
Amazing. Talk about taking triangulation to a new level; McCain managed to advocate federalism and globalism in the same answer.
So the Dem debate can be on later and be seen by lots more people?
Cain is off the Meds, now it’s Chinese pollution hitting CA, and GE needs some of our money to make tech to sell to us..
Nanny State!
