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 know! Romney doesn’t have the killer instinct. He needs to stop playing around with McCain and nail him constantly until the debate is over.
I wouldn’t go that far, perhaps anti-Mormon (and no, I am not a mormon) bigot.
“Exactly...I noticed McNutCase NEVER mentioned sending illegals home!”

UUGH!
I just saw a commercial for Al Franken. He just ruined the thin mint cookies I was enjoying. Grrrr.
yep
Compared to McCain, he looks great.
Romney...talking about W...and DC establishment. Supports W on WOT. Getting applause! Love it....says dems want to get out of Iraq. Too much spending....entitlements again. Better schools...says we should stay in the house that Reagan built!
you nailed it, but there must be something we aren’t seeing because look at his votes he is getting!
ROTFLMAO
Was that Jack Kemp I saw? Hasn’t he endorsed McCain?
Wish I didn’t understand, but I do.
I can’t believe I made it this far!
Explain, Rep. Paul, how every major depression (esp. 1890s and 1930s) in this country was under the gold standard and that since the abolition of the Gold Standard, there has only been one major economic crisis (the 1970s) that pales in comparison?
Southern California is Reagan Country! It is not Ahhnold country!
While on Right to Life, did he explain why he saw fit... not only to take several to court but to single out Wisconsin RTL for a special suit.
Cato has the argument debriefings btw.
Romney ran from Reagan`s policies in the 1980`s!
Good. Bringing up McCain’s lie about Romney wanting a time-line.
