If it happens in early August before the convention, then it's anybody's game, although whoever Romney had picked as his running mate would presumably be a contender. Romney delegates would be free to vote for whoever. I expect Newt and Santorum would jump back in the race for sure. Sarah Palin has already said she'd be willing to step forward if an open convention needed a compromise candidate (lol). Theoretically anybody could jump in at this point. It would be pure chaos. This is probably also the only scenario in which Ron Paul would have even a remote chance of winning the nomination.
If something were to happen to Romney after the convention and his nomination, it would be the Republican National Committee members and not the convention delegates who would meet to select a replacement nominee. The nomination contest would still be open, but the process would be more orderly and succinct.
