Even so, an AP analysis of year-end spending reports showed Santorum may have to stretch to cover all the states that vote in the next few weeks.
While current figures are not available, he reported that at year's end he had a 10-member campaign payroll at a quarterly cost of $49,000—the smallest of any of the Republicans in the race. He also is helped by paid consultants and unpaid volunteers, as are other candidates.
By comparison,
Romney reported a 92-member staff and a quarterly payroll of $1.3 million.
Gingrich said he had 23 paid aides, at a cost of $279,000,
Paul, who has yet to win a primary or caucus, paid $381,000 for a staff of 33.
President Barack Obama reported a 430-person campaign staff, which cost $4.7 million for the final three months of 2011.
