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.

He’s there to take votes away from Romney.
Wow. McCain trying to equate O’Connor with Scalia...
Alito! DRINK!
That’s why I fell off the Huckabee bandwagon, he can’t or won’t answer the tough questions.
“The last 3rd party to work was the Republicans in 1856.”
Yup. And they rose to power after the Whigs imploded. A situation not unlike what is happening in the GOP right now. Complete with Sen. McCain in his new role as Winfield Scott.
“We need to get us Conservatives back in control of it, but electing Billary or Obama and giving them 4 years to allow us to be nuked is not the right path to my way of thinking!”
I agree in part. I don’t like what I see on the Democrat side, but I don’t see a conservative or even a Republican for that matter winning the election. I’m for taking what small amount of lemonade we can out of a lemon of an election. A viable conservative third party would be a nice consolation prize.
Let ROn Paul elaborate for God’s sake
I hope you're talking about McCain, because he's flopped to the right on all sorts of topics...and that's just tonight.
Go and sin no more.
:)
Paul, the only one with courage on Sandra Day question.
McCain, lies through his teeth. He doesn’t respect the constitution...CFR anyone?
Huck schooling on the value of life....
Like a good Pastor should......
Ron Paul says—I wouldn’t appointed her, again gets cut off!
McCain—says he approves judges like Roberts,Alito!
Romney—same....
McCain wasn’t a big fan of Alito before...hmmmm......
Cooper cuts off RuPaul.
Hope Ruppy calls him on it.
What happened to Sandra Day O’Connor today?
