Minnesota Sens. Mark Dayton and Norm Coleman would not say Monday how they’ll vote on the nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court.

Dayton, a Democrat, said he wouldn’t weigh in “until I have the chance to review his record, and until the conclusion of the Judiciary Committee’s hearings.”

Coleman, a Republican, praised Alito as experienced, dedicated and fair-minded. But he stopped short of pledging his vote.
