There seems to be some dispute over this. In IA, the night of the caucus, Romney, Santorum, and Paul were all given 7 delegates a piece. Then in NH, Paul has been given 3, Romney got 7 and Huntsman 2.
The media is reporting different numbers for this, but the numbers I just gave you came from the local news stations in IA and NH.
Ron Paul is not out of the race. He is still running and campaigning in upcoming states. It is also not impossible for him to to still win the nomination, though he is currently projected to have the least delegates of all the candidates.
Ron Paul did not drop out, the media just tells you that he did because McCain has the amount of needed delegates. Ron Paul believes that the convention should be used for the delagates to debate the best platform for the party to run on and THEN select the nominee, as such he is still actively seeking delegates.
Ron Paul is currently a representative of the 14th district of Texas in the United States House of Representatives.
The important thing when running for nomination is delegates. The delegates from each state vote on who the nominee will be. In some states, the counties decide the state delegates, and the precincts decide the county delegates and so on. It is mathematically possible for someone who comes last in a state to collect all the delegates, and that is what Ron Paul claims to be doing in many states. Nevertheless, delegate estimates are putting him in last, and he hasn't won any state outright yet, so his campaign isn't going as well as the other candidates' so far.
On current poll averages, Ron Paul is the first choice candidate among 13% of republicans.
