Ok forgive my ignorance, what happens to his delegates now? Doesn't he have 28, while Warren only has 8?? Is Warren expected to drop out as well??? If Pete's dropping out, does that mean other candidates are likely to do that before Super Tuesday??? I have never paid such close attention to the primaries before, and I obviously have zero knowledge....

Smart move. Exits with his rep intact. He has a long career ahead of him.

His delegates won’t vote at all?

No, they're committed to cast their ballot for him in the first round vote at the convention. They're not allowed (as far as I know) to be free agents and pick another candidate of their own choosing. In some cases (2008, for instance), the losing candidate (Hillary) releases the delegates so that the winner is "elected" by "acclamation," without a roll call vote of the states. | |||

I think it's more complicated than that, and there are some state-by-state distinctions... But I can't remember where I was reading about it... Although, maybe I'm thinking of something other than the "first round vote" -- are there necessarily multiple votes, or only in certain circumstances?

Well, I'm bummed but not surprised. I hope he remains in public service, perhaps in the senate. I think we need people with brains in Washington. | |||

He and Klobuchar are both endorsing Biden.

Makes perfect sense. | |||

I gave him some money early on - I liked what I heard from him... Today I got an email from his campaign urging all of his supporters to rally around Biden.

Never thought Pete was in to win, but to enter the national stage. He had very little chance to be Indiana governor so this was the logical next step. He did a fine job of it too. Smart and likeable.
