Kleeb for Senate?

Note: The Nebraska Democratic Party does not endorse any candidate until the nominee is chosen.
The “Draft Kleeb” movement has gained a lot of momentum over the past few weeks. Thanks in part to a freshly redesigned website, both MyDD and Daily Kos have taken notice.
At MyDD, Jonathan Sanger has this to say:
...in 2006 Kleeb managed to score a little more than 45 percent of the vote in Nebraska’s third district in an open seat race, a feat made all the more impressive given the fact that the district is the sixth most Republican in the country, leaning about 24 points more Republican than the nation as a whole in presidential elections (according to the Cook Partisan Voting Index). If you extrapolate Kleeb’s 2006 showing relative to the Cook PVI statewide, he would have received about 54 percent—more than enough to win a Senate election.
Markos Moulitsas added:
I suspect a Kleeb candidacy graduates this one to top-tier status before all’s said and done.
Of course, we’re still waiting on fellow top-tier candidate Mayor Mike Fahey.
I’d take either one of them over this guy:
