KEARNEY — The Democrat who tallied 90,000 votes in the 2006 election in Nebraska’s Republican-dominated 3rd Congressional District said he plans to run again.

But first, Scott Kleeb wants to take a walk down the aisle.

Kleeb announced at the meeting of the Buffalo County Democrats that he plans to marry Jane Fleming, a political activist and executive director of Young Democrats of America. YDA, whose members are younger than age 36, is the youth arm of the Democratic Party.

Although he promised he would campaign again, he declined to say when or for what office. “I will run again. I don’t know if it’s two years or 20 years. I learned too much. I don’t know what I’ll run for, but I can say my commitment will be complete.”

1. Oh, damn...

He's going to lose the "I know nothing about politics, but that boy is cute and single" vote! ;)

But good for him, seriously. He should run for governor, get statewide recognition, then run for senate. In my humble opinion, of course.

2. If Hagel retires or runs for President and vacates his seat

Then I say run for the Senate but if he dosen't go ahead and take another swing at Adrian Smith in NE-3 but I have to remind him beating Smith will be much tougher in 2008 then it was in 2006 since 2008 is a presidental year which means more Republicans will be coming out in drones to support Smith.

But regardless of what office he runs for I just want to say that Scott Kleeb is an excellent choice to for for and even though I live in PA you can bet i'll be sending a couple of bucks along Scott's way.
