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.

Let’s see...

McCain: I was liberal then, and my liberal positions are right.

Romney: My liberal positions were wrong, and I was wrong.

Rather you believe Romney or not, at least there is a 50/50 chance he’ll govern as a conservative. McCain still stands by his positions.

The Clinton Machine is going to rip McCain a new one.

If he doesn't take his Geritol, he won't even realize it.

McCain figures if he can repeat his lies often enough, it will become the new reality.

What did McCain say, he won’t sign his own immigration bill? No he would not even commit to that...he evaded the question by saying it won't come up again.

THIS IS THE KEY TO THIS ENTIRE DEBATE-ROMNEY MUST ASK THE QUESTION THAT ANDERSON COOPER REFUSED TO FOLLOW UP ON-WOULD McCAIN SIGN THE BILL IF IT DID COME BACK?

The dodge was classic, Cooper blew it.

He had the power-hungry look of someone who saw the potential to gain power through the Presidency during his post-primary speech (~62% precincts counted) last night that was almost scary! McCain will do and say anything now to ensure he gets the nomination. He knows that most of the sheeple will not pay attention to the fact that he changes his platforms as often as he changes states.

If McCain is what the Republican party wants then I guess I will no longer be a Republican. He is slimy, crooked, and represents everything wrong with Washington.
