John McCain is releasing this video tonight congratulating Barack Obama as the first African American to ever win the nomination of their party.

Here's the text from McCain

"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."

That's the nicest ad we've seen from McCain during this election!

CNN is reporting that John has made his choice on a running mate. We're expecting the announcement Friday morning.
