Tom Jensen says Beverly Perdue's new approach is "admirable" but also "politically risky."

The Democratic pollster writes on his blog that Perdue's pledge to avoid negative ads has backed her into a corner, especially if Richard Moore continues to run negative ads.

Nonetheless it is a very impressive gesture. I wrote Sunday that the only way there would be any lessening of the negativity in this race would be a mutual disarmament pact between the candidates. Perdue has gone out on a limb by making that choice without any parallel guarantee from Moore and as a Democrat I respect that.
