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.

McCain: We lost the election in 2006 not because of Iraq but because of excessive spending.

I dispute the claim.

“b.s. is b.s. Notice that McCain seems like he is not hearing or understanding well.”

He’s not at all inspiring and looks like a tired out old guy. If he’s the nominee, 4 years of dems.

McClinton is so full of BS and he looks and sounds very lightweight.

is it me or is McCain on meds to slow him down, calm him, so he’s able to endure the ‘attacks’ he might expect as the plot thickens..

I work in a Fortune 100 company who's green initiatives are done simply as the right thing to do- not because of gov't regulations. Green initiatives not only make sense in terms of efficiency and cost, but are also a helluva selling feature.

Shut up hippie!

Does Johnny write with his left hand because his right hand is damaged or is he really left handed?

Romney just acknowledged that McCain was part of the Reagan revolution, which he was.

I wish Ronald Reagon would miraculuosly climb out of his AF1 behind the posers and smack all of them upside the head!

If I had a drink handy, I'd raise my glass to that!!

Pardon the bandwidth (in the interest of conservatism).

Someone should ask McCain how many times he voted in favor of Most-Favored-Nation Trade status for China.

McCain cannot beat Hillary or Obama, with these answers.
He looks like he is out of it. He is not sharp enough to compete with the Democrats this year.

McCain: "I'm tired of borrowing money from China"

OK, why have you sat there for all these years letting this go on." Mr. McCain, I know an Agent of Change and you sir are definitely not it.

Actually yes he was, Cain was groomed to step in for Barry Goldwater in the mid 80’s.

McCain against excessive spending? Since when?

What a load of baloney.

Romney schooling all on effects of overspending, and problems of entitlement programs.....
