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.

2.77 is the cheapest in LA County right now....in the hood.
Huck is the laughing stock of the GOP. Lack of highways causes global warming.
Are you implying that McCain is pandering for the gay vote?
I work for a company that is highly regulated by Congress, in fact, they’d like us to support SCHIP. But I also work in a cleaner environment than in my own home proving that industry is more than capable of managing environmental pollution , etc when left to their own accord.
Pander from Coast to Coast.
HuckAPHONY is a CLOWN!
Hey Huck! the bridge feel down because of a design flaw!
Not because you didnt expand the highway dept!
YES!! Juan Hernandez is for McCain, also Mel Martinez and some other interesting cronies.
That was really ridiculous--but not surprising coming from a bunch of liberals, CNN and the other candidates sitting with him.
Huckabee seems to have no idea of how long government contracting would take.
If his infrastructure approach did happen, the $$$ wouldn’t get into the economy for 2 or more years. It takes that long just to get the projects identified; the requests for proposals to be be issues; the proposals to be written, reviewed, approved.
Period. End. Of. Story.
You’re still a bore...but a funny bore! ROFL!
I gotta say, potholes in Michigan, which is a year round problem, do not keep me from going about my life. Huck makes it sound so.
Didn’t I read somewhere that roads and highways were WORSE off in Arkansa after Huckabee left office?
And Huck’s 2 sons could pass for 4 sons.
ROFL
Oh good Lord, Paul does not belong in that debate...
This is sad. People were laughing at Huckabee.
Paul is making a great comment about the bridges. Huck is a disgrace
Everyone is using the bridge lie
