The Delegate Fight: 2012

[Tender Branson]

Question:

What happens to pledged or unpledged delegates for a candidate who drops out later ?

Does the drop-out candidate need to "free" these delegates or will they vote for the candidate who dropped out anyway or can they just choose at the convention for which candidate they vote for ?

Which site has the best and most uptodate delegate allocation ?

Because if you look at NYT, CNN, FOX, CBS, Greenpapers they all have different delegate counts.
