Gingrich is still in the race, but he is garnering small crowds and is $4.5 million in debt. Paul is still in the race, is funded and garnering large crowds that are not televised. The media have written both off. Gingrich and Paul know it is still possible to deny Romney the 1144 delegates for a nomination. Gingrich and Paul have been the only two of all the GOP candidates that want to audit the Federal Reserve and/or eliminate it (the crux of the federal deficit).

What seems to be happening now that Santorum has dropped out is the evangelical Christians are looking at Paul because many still don't like Romney's Mormonism. That was Romney's problem in 2008.

Santorum can decide to hold or release his bound delegates. If he releases his bound delegates, they will not be bound to another candidate and can vote however they choose at the convention on the first ballot. Romney will want Santorum to hold his delegates most likely (depending on upcoming states). The two big delegate races to watch are Texas (155 delegates) and California (172 delegates). If Romney wins both those states, then it is statistically over and he will reach the 1144 delegate requirement.
