Thanks Erc for these great posts. I'm new to the forum so maybe this has already been discussed, but what happens to Gingrich's (or Paul's) delegates if he drops out/ suspends his campaign prior to Tampa? Are his delegates bound to vote for him on the first ballot or do they get released?
If they are released, maybe a situation emerges where neither Romney or Santorum wins 1144 through primary victories, but still secures a first ballot nomination by "winning" unbound Gingrich/ Paul delegates through old fashioned wheeling and dealing. There may be a major incentive for this to happen so that the party can avoid the potential embarrassment of a brokered convention.
