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.

BIG APPLAUSE for Romney.
WOW, Romney just laid the smack down on McCain. Now McCain saying of course he said it. Why do I want Mitt to smack the hell out of chipmunk cheeks?
Romney just slammed McLame
Good for Romney. McCain is a liberal liar. Maybe it’s dementia.
McCain is ready to lie about this.
I find it eminently respectful. This is the goal all men attempt to achieve.
McCain has a smirk that I do not care for a bit, nwo he will spin a bit, then take a nappy.
Romney slams McCain.
McCain, we lost 96 because we had an old stale candidate. You’re older and more stale!
Reprehensible!
Go Mitt!
Go, Mittsky, Go!
Kick his antique arse.
How many homosexual questions has he asked?
(Careful, that may be a trick question.)
I liar and a dirty trickster! OOUCH!!!
Now McInsane says, “Of course he supported a timetable.”
That man is just unbelievable the way he lies.
More like a jerk with his thumb up his ass.
THAT is McAmnesty.
I do like Mitt but sheesh can you imagine being his wife and trying to argue with him?! He talks circles around you until you just give up.
Per some reports, McCain-Feingold prohibited Romney from producing a televised (commercial ad) response to McCain’s date-setting allegation in Florida.
duh!
Romney’s smackdown gets the crowd to cheer!
