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.

Does anyone remember how hateful McCain talked to Arnold’s wife, Maria Shriver during the 2000 campaign? She was working for NBC and he literally let her have it? And now the weakling Arnold is endorsing him! What a guy!

Arnold is toast, and so weak he can't even defend his wife.

Here is a blast from the past. It appears that lying is not new to John McCain.

2000 is eight years ago, and tons of political sellouts by McCain, including amnesty.

Exactly.

You mean if McCain is the nominee, you will hold your nose and vote for him? I will in no way vote Democrat so I am torn!

If McAmnesty wins the primary, I will write-in Thomas Jefferson.

He is definitely the one who I would squeeze my nose the tightest about.

John "Snarky" McCain.

That's what the debate's focus group called him.

He may look a lil flabby, but the man is likely in better shape that 99% of the population his age and younger. That being said, no one ever accused Arnold of being a true blue conservative....

The undecideds who were
polled at CNN gave Romney
the highest of all .. many
times = 90.

Thought McCain was snarky.

Well, McCain is so tightly wound, maybe he will just explode. The only question is whether he would need to be treated with bandages, or a straight jacket.

Coming attraction, Ahnold endorsing McQueeg tomorrow.

Someone on MSNBC just said that Arnold's endorsement won't move the base as they're not favorable towards him. However she added that McCain would probably win CA with or without the endorsement as he's riding a wave now and is popular out there.

That’s disturbing.

The MSM networks covering for McCain is disturbing also. I feel like I’m on an alternate universe, other than the MSM talking heads, discussing the debate tonight. They are relentlessly pushing McCain and praising his performance and talking about his momentum. McCain was horrible tonight.

Ron Paul supports a return to the gold standard. He makes good points, but... is NOT a serious candidate.

I’m sorry, my friend... but you have wasted your money. You would have been better off to purchase pancakes, and a bunny.

Your waste of an oppositional political party, one that actually might be a refuge against the insanity of the imminent socialist tide, if it only sat back and seriously reflected and saw that it's attempt to stem the tide with numbednuts RINO's was the major serious and unforgiving miscalculation here. You can't out-socialist the socialists. McCain? Romney? This is just way too pathetic.

Someday I may vote Republican again (without the explicit endorsement of the NRA). I hope it happens again soon, but insults argue little.
