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.

I think that describes those occasions when President Eisenhower had sex with his wife.
Oh brother.
Are you sure it's a pen?
Huck giving a view on immigration that he didn’t perform as governor.
Huck completely dodged this question. He doesn’t want to restate his recently stated opinion on it.
This forum seems nothing more than name calling and giggly little girls swarming over Romney
Did he wet his pants? (Or was that McCain...)
Well, what do you know... he actually addresses the 900-pound gorilla in the room.
Of course, coming from the guy who implemented Romneycare, it rings a little hollow.
It’s all he has, I would prefer it if Cain said “I knew Reagen but I also have my own ideas”
The way Ronald R is mentioned now, it is like a personal endorsement that they are giving themselves.
Heck Chris Matthews knew R, Reagen, that doesn’t mean that anyone should vote for him.
One double please.

I know this is superficial, but Romney is by far the best looking man on stage.
Yeah, thats why Huckabee won’t win in the general, I have Huckabee supporters that before, and they turn on a dime.
Carl Cameron has just confirmed that California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will endorse Senator John McCain. This will occur tomorrow in Los Angeles.
Because he doesn’t remember his recently stated opinion?
He’s is writing with secret ink! LOL
Alright Mitt. Kick the illegals out now.
“Super Duper primary states voted already? Guess I put the wrong date in on my DeLorean time machine.”
True. And point well taken. The fat lady is clearing her throat, though.
“It’s too late for him to go on the ballots and get signatures. He’s already played the 3rd party game in 1988.”
Not really. The LP nominates their Presidential candidates via convention, not primary. And the LP already has ballot status in most if not all states. If he walks out of the GOP by late spring/early summer, he’ll have time to switch parties and then be a candidate at the LP convention. The GOP nomination will most likely be a done deal by then.
If Rep. Paul has a chance for the GOP nomination when late spring/early summer rolls around, then he’ll stay put. If he doesn’t, he can leave the GOP with enough time to seek the LP nomination. Given Rep. Paul’s age, this is his last hurrah.
True.
