	Editorial: Money rules / Pennsylvania needs to cap campaign donations
		An analysis by The Philadelphia Inquirer showed that at least 53 individuals and organizations gave at least $100,000 to the former Philadelphia mayor in his successful campaign, including $700,000 from the Philadelphia law firm Ballard, Spahr, Andrews and Ingersoll and its individual members and $528,000 from the Pennsylvania State Education Association.

		Democrat Ed Rendell, for instance, received more $100,000 campaign contributions than all but two people who ran for office in the United States in 2002.
