Here is the McCain campaign release announcing their ad that will run tonight in battleground states in which the Republican faces the canddiate and congratulates Barack Obama for securing his party’s nomination.

Watch the ad here.

Script for "Convention Night":

John McCain: Senator Obama, this is truly a good day for America.

Too often the achievements of our opponents go unnoticed. So I wanted to stop and say, congratulations.

How perfect that your nomination would come on this historic day. Tomorrow, we’ll be back at it. But tonight Senator, job well done.

I’m John McCain and I approved this message.
