US Sen. Brown, Warren, agree to curb attack ads (AP)

BOSTON ? U.S. Sen. Scott Brown and his chief Democratic rival Elizabeth Warren have signed a pledge to curb political attack ads by outside groups.

Warren on Monday sent a letter to Republican incumbent Brown urging him join her and sign an agreement to prevent third-party ads. Brown signed the pledge minutes later.

Top level staffers for both candidates failed to reach a deal during a meeting last week.

Warren in her letter said "we don't want outsiders running this election" and said her agreement sews up loopholes in a proposal Brown made last week.

Brown suggested that each candidate donate half the cost of any third-party ad to charity if that ad either supports their candidacy or attacks their opponent.

He called the agreement a "great victory" for the people of Massachusetts."
