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.

Good for Romney. McCain is a liberal liar. Maybe it’s dementia.

Am I the only one who finds it a bit disrespectful to have this debate at the Reagan library?

I find it eminently respectful. This is the goal all men attempt to achieve.

McCain, we lost 96 because we had an old stale candidate. You’re older and more stale!

But Cooper is despicable, every question he ask is agenda driven.

How many homosexual questions has he asked?

(Careful, that may be a trick question.)

Per some reports, McCain-Feingold prohibited Romney from producing a televised (commercial ad) response to McCain’s date-setting allegation in Florida.

duh!
