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.

“Sometimes people lost their jobs” LOL He wouldn’t know anything about that because no one in government ever loses their jobs.

Romney was a Governor, just like Jimmah Carter and Bill Clinton. Three liberals, three failures.

George Bush and Ronald Reagan were also governors.

Hey John, Reagan was in the military but I think it’s a stretch to claim his miliitary experience was much more extensive than Romney’s. You’re falling flat bud.

Myth correction

The USA's strength does not come from our economy... It comes from the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution...

Wow McCain is sleazy! His disdain for the economy’s producers is typical of a man who’s never spent anytime in the private sector.

I think it was good for him to say that he respected McCain's experience in the military, because it helps highlight the clear fact that McCain does not respect Romney's experience in the private sector.

One of the more troubling aspects of McCain which has cropped up lately is his disdain for those who actually make this country work.

Ok, Sorry if this has been mentioned but is the audio slightly off track? I feel like I’m watching a foreign movie. A trick on CNN’s part?
