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.

That is what Ike asked... every night in the bedroom.
None of these people are holding McCain’s feet to the fire.
He is permitted to get away with saying those things.
These candidates could have asked for it to be pushed back.
Thanks for the screen caps
Peggy Noonan: I spit on you.
He must be doing the Thorazine Shuffle.
Psst... don’t forget tearing down Boeing twice in the service of Lockheed Martin. Telecom, the tribes (largest recipient during Mc-Feiny), etc..
Another “gotcha” question. “Has Bush been a loser?”
Well you’d have to be blind to miss it. Now if I thought the Huckster was cute, then I’d question my sanity.
Paul looks great, doesn’t he? (Runs and hides)
BINGO!
I’m glad to see that Mitt refuses to dump on Bush.
I don’t think there’s a question they can stump him with.
And then there’s McCain......
Good answer from Mitt on the state of the party
I don’t think there’s a question they can stump him with.
And then there’s McCain......
Ok, crowd is all Romney. He got major applause for his Bush praise.
Peggy Noonan: GWBush destroyed the Republican Party...
Q: Is the Rep party better off now than eight years ago?
CAN I GET AN “OH HELL NO!!!”
