Mitch McConnell: Keep fighting

GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell released a statement that calls on Republican Norm Coleman to keep appealing the recount in Minnesota's U.S. Senate race. Here's the statement:

"The court's decision in Minnesota leaves no other choice but to continue the process to ensure that every legal vote is counted. Minnesotans deserve a final ruling that applies consistent ballot standards and addresses serious unresolved questions in order to have any confidence in the accuracy of the result. Although we all want finality to this historically close election, patience must outweigh partisanship as Minnesotans continue the process to attain the accurate results from Election Day."
