I like the idea, but the problem is that most of the attack ads don't come from the candidates themselves, but from their campaign donors or groups in support of them. The 527's, which among other things brought us Swift Boat Vets, was funded by people who supported Bush but weren't actually a part of the main campaign. Though they were eventually discredited, and rightfully so if you really look deep into what was being said and who was running the ads, they caused a great deal of damage in the campaign.
What needs reforming is the loopholes that allow 527's to be funded and run on TV.
Take care all.
