Taking the stage exactly 14 years after becoming German chancellor, Angela Merkel has told party faithful in Leipzig she had never imagined being in power for so long, but that the work isn't done.
Merkel reminded her Christian Democratic Party convention Friday that since 2005 they'd brought unemployment to record lows and weathered the world financial crisis.

She says: "I want to continue to work for that as chancellor.
