Question about delegates

Lets say Huckabee and Mccain drop out before the convention. What happens to the delegates they earned? Do they go to the person who got second place or are the delegates free to choose.

I think they can vote for whoever they want. Some states might have funny rules though.

cool. thank you. This shows how important it is to become a delegate cause just because you're bound to a candidate that candidate might drop out and you'll be able to vote for Paul.
