could delegates vote for someone else that’s not currently in the race?

Actually, don’t know what the current RNC rules are. Some delegates are bound for a certain number of votes. But thereafter, he could be anyone.

Of course. After the first ballot, if no one has the number needed for the nomination, it becomes an open (brokered) Convention and the Delegates are then released to vote for whomever they want. They could vote for Sarah Palin, Jim DeMint, Paul Ryan......whomever. WOULDN’T THAT BE EXCITING
