look at each state individually.
Missouri
next step is CD district conventions 4/21.
The Santorum “delegates” attending those conventions will end up supporting another candidate at that time. They are not going to vote for a “dropped out candidate”.
So Santorum will end up with few or Zero national delegates from MO.
Same thing in ME in May at their state convention .... Santorum will get few votes and ZERO national delegates.

MO delegates will all go to Romney. Gingrich blew off the primary and faired very poorly in the caucus. He has zero chance of picking any of them up.
Right, but with no candidate, do they have a choice now, or go with whomever S. endorses, if he does?
