A question about the US elections...

[rhythmaning]

The BBC has a useful Q&A about the US primaries and caucauses, but there is a question that I have that I can't find an answer to anywhere: what happens to the votes of delegates pledged to candidates who drop out of the party contests? Who gets the votes of Mitt Romney (on the Republican side) or John Edwards (on the Democratic)?

In the first round, Edwards would (Romney hasn't dropped out, he's "suspended his campaign").

If no one wins, then the candidate they're pledged to gets to offer them to someone else and you get a whole lotta horse trading.

Does one "believe in the theory of evolution" like one might believe in the theory of "God"?
