Democrats Scott Kleeb and Tony Raimondo played it coy Friday about their prospective U.S. Senate plans, but both sounded like candidates.

Kleeb and Raimondo spoke at a gathering of about 300 at the Douglas County Democratic Party's annual Harry S. Truman Dinner.

Kleeb talked about change, saying this nation needs to work toward universal health care and energy independence.

Raimondo, who became a Democrat in December, talked about the need for moderates in Washington, D.C., and his belief that middle-income Americans are being ignored.

Kleeb, a former Democratic congressional candidate, was met with warm applause. Raimondo, a political newcomer, got a lukewarm reception.

"Raimondo was OK, but as far as I'm concerned, he did not bring the room down," said Mark Begley, an Omaha Democrat who was clearly impressed with Kleeb.
