Slick move Bev. The blood is in the water, the damage already done.

Her campaign started out terribly but has really come together in the last 3 or 4 months. I'm impressed.

Voters who like negative ads can still get their fill on YouTube.

While Beverly Perdue has stopped airing her ads attacking Richard Moore and removed them from her YouTube channel, they are still available on Under the Dome's channel.

You can see an ad attacking Moore's ties to a private insurance firm here, an ad attacking him for having Wall Street donors here, an ad about his handling of the state pension fund here, and a response ad to his tuition increase ad here.

A YouTube-only ad attacking Moore's ties to New York City is not available, however.

Perdue told N&O reporter Ben Niolet two weeks ago that she was considering pulling negative ads off the air. At a press conference this morning, she said she was influenced by a recent campaign stop.

During a three-hour break, she said she and her husband, Bob, saw a number of negative ads on the TV in their Asheville hotel room.

Afterward, she met with a local elected official who also complained about the negativity, she said.
