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.

Now Huckabee wants a border fence in 18 months.

As governor, he was open borders and pro-amnesty.

“McCain now claiming to be a foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution.”

He just isn’t mentioning that he retreated.

McCain sits there like he already earned an A for tonight’s performance. He cannot win in a National election with such answers.

How many times has McCain dropped Jack Kemp’s name tonight when faced with an economic question?

My lasting memory of Jack Kemp was his pathetic debate performance against Algore in 1996.

What the heck is Cockamamie?

It's an adjective I use when describing any plan of McCain's.

“We’re not building a fence to keep people in or keep people out...”

Huh? What kind of stupid pills does the Huckster take?

"McCain should stop playing with the pen, it is really annoying."

And his background smirk is none too easy on the eyes as well.

Huck fixing anchor babies won’t fix the problem. (It sure would help Huck)
Let them live in the light - old Teddy loved that line too.

I work for big tobacco, so to speak. Our regulation is on our product, and our company provides an amazing air filtration system for other reasons. We even install the same filtration in buildings that do not house employees. And your correct, the efficiency and cost savings are a terrific bonus. Oddly enough, most of us are non-smokers.

You really think the GOP lost the election in 2006 because of Iraq?

I think it's pretty clear that spending and the perception of corruption is what drove voters away from the GOP.
