Question,.... what happens the the delegates that the people who are dropping out? Do they just get reallocated to the people still in the race or are they just lost?

I expect that after next tuesday...

McCain vs Romney
Hillary vs Obama

All others will stop.

 I think Paul will stay, he has the money

 

He's got 62 of them, according to CNN, and the Democratic Convention Watch blog has this explanation on where they'll go:



First, all of his superdelegates go back into the no endorsement pool. Second, his 4 delegates from New Hampshire and his 8 delegates from South Carolina will go to the convention as Uncommitted. And finally, his delegates from Iowa don't exist anymore, but will be replaced with Clinton or Obama delegates. That's because delegates to the national convention haven't actually been picked yet in these two states. There are Congressional District and state conventions still to come, and all his delegates to the Congressional District conventions will have to vote for one of the remaining candidates to the state level convention.



UPDATE: Kornacki says he's suspending his campaign, not formally withdrawing, which means he'll maintain a block of delegates.
