Punting?

Colorado finished their district caucuses last night. Given Mr. Santorum's recent withdrawal, one would have expected most of the delegates to be pledged to Mr. Romney. That was not the case.

No candidate took all three delegates available in each Congressional District (21 total). Mr. Romney took 5 delegates while Mr. Santorum took 6. The remaining 10 went to "unpledged". I don't know if this is what they had in mind or if those spots were thought to be for another candidate and didn't want to officially declare for Romney.

Colorado will finish it's delegate list tonight along with Wyoming. That should give us a better idea of how things are balancing out in the initial aftermath of the Santorum withdrawal.
