We want them to stick in it

We want them to stick in it through the first vote or two, to keep Romney from taking it until we can unlock all our delegates.

Most of the pledged delegates are released after the first vote, some after the second. But if Gingrich and/or Santorum bail out, their delegates (or the bulk of them) are released. At that point a significant fraction of them will switch to Romney, and could put him over before those of our supporters who are locked up by a state Romney pledge can switch to Ron.
