The story of the GOP campaign right now can be boiled down to two storylines: Rick Santorum's polling numbers and Mitt Romney's money. The former Pennsylvania senator continues to amass an impressive portfolio of public favor -- this week's polls out of Michigan have Santorum ahead, to varying degrees, and Thursday morning, Rasmussen released the results of an Ohio poll that had Santorum leading the former Massachusetts governor by a 42-24 percent margin. Those are the two states identified by Larry Sabato as critical to getting Romney back on the path to inevitability -- a path paved with several metric tons of campaign cash, all of which funds attack ads, campaign infrastructure and organization. So what exactly does it mean to be as cash-strapped as Rick Santorum is? Jonathan Bernstein lays it out:In most GOP caucus states, the voting is not strictly connected to delegate selection.

What Paul brings to the table is a more-than-adequately funded operation of well-schooled operatives who have been taught to work the caucus system like pros and snatch additional delegates from the jaws of second- and third-place finishes. Santorum is amassing wins, and is setting the table for more of the same, but his ragtag operation may not be able to max out these successes on the delegate leaderboard.As Bernstein notes: 'Because there s such a bewildering mix of delegate selection rules in the Republican process, a smart campaign can focus on the best places to win delegates. But it s hard to make good strategic choices when you don t even have a pollster!' (Let's recall that back in January, Santo
