LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Now that Mitt Romney has dropped out of the presidential race, his Michigan delegates will switch to uncommitted.

The state was stripped of half of its GOP delegates by the Republican National Committee for moving its primary to Jan. 15. State party leaders still expect the full 60 to get seated.

Based on that, the party says 45 delegates were to go to primary winner Romney. But Romney's delegates will now have to go as uncommitted, freeing them to vote for any candidate at the convention.

The delegates will be chosen next week at the state GOP convention. John McCain will get 10 and Mike Huckabee, two.

The state GOP also has three unpledged delegates.
