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.

Did McCain just say that we should be able to force banks to lower their rates?

Is McCain familiar with the contract clause of the Constitution?

"Question . . . why is this debate on at 5pm on the west coast?"

My guess is because they do not want California Republican voters to actually watch it.

Most of that group are probably getting ready to play with their kids and have a bit of supper after a day of work.

It was a dispute over the last Snausage.

Is this true?

Well, the biggest dog won that battle. ; )

McCain says he was around at the start of the Reagan revolution, and now he wants to be the one that ends it!

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

I think he is a lefty.

McCain wants to punish some people on Wall Street. Damn evil corporations.

Are you under the impression that Goldman Sucks and others are a force for good?
