Romney Suspends Campaign

Mitt Romney has suspended his campaign and not endorsed another candidate which means that he keeps his delegates until the Republican National Convention. Here's a link to the official Republican National Convention Guidelines for 2008. It's a long document but interesting read.

Here's another interesting article that gives the general overview of how delegates are distributed by state and bound in voting at the convention.

Basically states are awarded delegates based on the number of congressional districts (3 per district) and each state receives 10 at large delegates and then can receive bonus delegates for Republican governors, senators, legislatures, etc. Rules differ by state determining if the delegates are bound to vote for the candidate that won their state's primary or caucus. The only states that are not legally bound to their state's winner (only morally bound) are Ohio, Washington, North Carolina and the Virgin Islands.
