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.

Romney, pin him down!
They need to ask RINO Romney about all his abortion pushing days
Didn’t he tell Russert he in fact WOULD vote for his bill if it came up??? Which answer was a lie Senator?
Huck making me ill now.......{double barf}
We’re at a cross road where we must hold our nose and vote for the lesser of the 2 weasels, unfortunately. A flip-flopper vs. the RINO in chief. If the flopper has flipped to the right side, should we trust him?
oh geez look at RuPaul in that shot!
Huckabee should have had the guts to say that Justice O’Connor was sadly wrong on the issue of abortion.
The Clinton Machine is going to rip McCain a new one.
I hope we do. It’ll give him another opportunity to prove what an ignorant fool he is.
The government can’t even get the IRS system or SS right. How and the hell am I going to trust them with the roof over my head? I’m not.
I detected a bit of the infamous temper in his response to "will you vote for your bill if it comes up again"...IT WON'T!!! IT WON'T!!! I'LL BE GLAD TO ARTICULATE THAT AGAIN!
Huck can’t even say the SDO’Conner was a bad choice.
Brave
He not only hung the poor little critter - he stoned it and then slit it's throat!
And, Daddy Huckabee had it all covered up.
That tells me all I need to know about his character.
sorry ‘bout that. ;)
He is hoping that he does not have to vote for it. He wants to sign it into law.
True.
35, natural born citizen, not elected twice before... it doesn’t require the person be “alive.”
Although the presidential succession may imply that a dead man cannot serve.
“Pravious or DePravious? You don’t have to like his politics, but why call him names?”
Because I loathe him.
“Where’s The Fence??!!”
