One of the strangest exchanges in primary presidential debate history occurred in the Drexel University-MSNBC Democratic debate. And believe it or not Mike Gravel was not allowed in this debate and thus was not a part of the exchange. (Who do you think won? Vote here.)

It started when Tim Russert asked Dennis Kucinich about his daughter's godmother, actress Shirley McLaine's recounting of a UFO sighting. McLaine claims that Kucinich saw a UFO over her house. Mr. Kucinich confirmed he did indeed see a UFO and felt it communicate with him.

You read that right. Democratic Congressman and Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich admitted during a debate that he witnessed and communicated with a UFO.

Not to be left out of the conversation, MSNBC's First Read reports that Bill Richardson joined the conversation afterwards with Chris Matthews and Dennis Kucinich yakking about the UFO subject. Now as Governor of New Mexico, he have may been pandering to Roswell constituents. But he allegedly called for the Federal Government to "come clean" on UFOs.

Really? What exactly is the Governor implying that the Government is dirty on?

At least Barack Obama has the sense of mind to turn the discussion away from the banal to the common-sense and quipped, "All I know is that there's life here on earth, and we're not taking care of kids who are alive and aren't getting health care..."

And by-the-way, Kucinich is the guy who is reported to have called into question the mental health of George Bush. The jokes are too obvious and the reality of all this probably too appropriate for Halloween.

A UFO sighting huh? It's really going to be a long election cycle.
