After the primaries on April 24th, it is clear with almost complete certainty who the Republican presidential candidate will be. With the dropping of Santorum, Romney is now the only candidate left close enough to actually reach the required delegates.
There are 962 delegates left.
Romney needs 297 more delegates to reach the magic number of 1144.
Santorum needs 885 more.
Gingrich needs 1007 more.
Paul needs 1064 more.
Unless something happens to Romney, Gingrich and Paul have no way to get enough delegates to win. The only way Romney won't win is if by some amazing happening, Santorum becomes wildly popular, which is not at all likely to happen.
