MnIndy video: ‘More counting to be done,’ Coleman tells election night crowd

U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman spoke to raucous supporters early on election night at the Minnesota Republican Party gathering at the Sheraton Hotel in Bloomington, Minn. Even then, partial election returns signaled a margin between Coleman and Democrat Al Franken so small that it was headed to a recount. So after acknowledging the historic result in the presidential contest and the “graciousness” of U.S. Sen. John McCain’s concession speech, Coleman offered neither concession nor triumphalism. Instead he told the pumped-up crowd, “There is more counting to be done” — a sober assessment that will apparently hold true for weeks. Video after the jump.
