We've been keeping an eye on the 2 delegates from New Hampshire that became uncommitted when Jon Huntsman dropped out. Although there are three actual delegates, only 2 actual votes will be tallied at the convention.

The Granite Status has learned that Paul Collins, a senior strategist in former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman's third-place New Hampshire finish and a Huntsman delegate, will be announced later today as moving to Mitt Romney.

Also supporting Romney will be Huntsman alternate delegate Brad Blais.

Collins says it's time for Republicans to united behind Romney as “the one candidate who can win in November.

Huntsman dropped out of the race on Jan. 16. He had earned three New Hampshire GOP delegates by finishing with nearly 17 percent of the vote in the Jan. 10 first-in-the-nation primary, according to data on the Secretary of State's web site.

His delegates were released when he dropped out.

Huntsman's other two New Hampshire delegates, consultant Sarah Crawford Stewart and business executive Renee Plummer, told the Status this morning they remain uncommitted. Plummer said she intends to remain uncommitted until the Republican National Convention in late summer. - Granite Status
