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.

And you FReepers thought Paul was nuts. Compared to McCain he’s a rocket scientist.

Got that right!

Huckabee is about to lose it....he is so ticked because Romney and McCain are dominating the discussion. Romney sounds great! Hitting on all cylinders!

McCain looked at Huck like he is another one of his friends.
McCain’s eyes are sparkling like a Yoda figure but probably without a clue.

Romney knows his stuff. The others are pale in comparison.

Paul’s libertarian leanings don’t really suit a Environmental discussion very well.

He was cut off as well, boy is that crappy treatment.

Paul is the real deal domestically but most tenets of his foreign policy are extremely naive and unrealistic. It amazing how he can alienate so many conservatives with his wacky perspective on America’s global role, when he is so aligned with authentic conservative principles.

Good answer by Paul. And I bet he knows what a federalist is, too.

Re: ...you'd have known ahead of time what this was going to feel like had you been a Raider and not a Cowboy.

Sorry, Dip, I'd rather be a Cowboy's fan even if we ain't won a playoff game in 10 years. At least we've played playoff games!

Opps, Dip... we are off topic!

Never mind, nothing to see here! Move along.
