U.S. Senate candidate Ben Sasse (R. NE) is really pushing to be named the "Silliest Candidate of 2014":

Nebraska Senate candidate Ben Sasse has a proposal: move the Capitol from Washington D.C. to Nebraska.
"That’s it, the way to cure the incredible ineffectiveness and dysfunction of both parties in Washington — we move the Capitol to Nebraska where they can experience family, conservative values, living within a budget, and pulling together, not pulling apart," Sasse said in a new campaign ad.
Sasse doesn't expect this to actually happen, according to The Washington Times, but he does think it's a useful "thought experiment" to compare whether the state of politics is what America's founders intended.
"I think that they, Nebraska work-a-day folks, think that we're on the precipice of national decline and they don't think Washington gets it at all," Sasse said according to the Times. - TPM, 1/6/14
Yep, this is the Club for Growth and Dick Armey's choice candidate in the crowded GOP primary to succeed retiring Senator Mike Johanns (R. NE). Good luck with your message Sasse, you're going to need it.
