Steve Bassett, the lone Washington UFO Lobbyist and Executive Director of the Paradigm Research Group Extraterrestrial Phenomena Political Action Committee has now posted 
questions that can be asked of the various 2008 Election Campaign. This is one of Steve's main ideas to get the ET issue into the discussion of issues of the 2008 election.
However, in 2004 General Wesley Clark was a forerunner in the Democratic primaries. He stood up in the New Hampshire primary and told voters that he believed we could exceed the speed of light, which led to an e-mail message to me that General Clark had been briefed on the crash saucer program. When I asked some of the top ufologists in various states to ask Clark if he had been briefed on UFOs, I was told by some that they did not want to “embarrass” the candidate or "ruin his chance" to win.
Hopefully, times have changed and ufologists believe it is important enough to stand up to the plate. If not ufology will remain a hobby style interest for the general public.

As of yet UFOs have not become a part of the 2008 U.S. presidential election. Issues still centre on the war in Iraq, and domestic issues that affect daily well being.
There is a lack of discussion on the issue of UFOs, despite the fact that some of the candidates have been involved with the issue in the past. John McCain, a leading Republican candidate for President has faced the UFO question in the past, according to Todd Ristau of the Iowa UFO Research Network.
Ristau claimed that during the 2000 presidential campaign, "McCain acknowledged that there are very interesting aspects of the UFO question and he is ready to investigate what he can, after he is elected." He didn't get elected so we will never know what would have happened. When asked about the 1997 Pheonix lights which had always been held high by researchers as one of the firmest pieces of evidence we are being visited, McCain was less enthusiastic. He stated, “"That has never been fully explained, but I have to tell you that I do not have any evidence whatsoever of aliens or UFOs."
