Really? Seriously?

This is one of those stories that we've gotten used to seeming normal that I'm starting to think our collective horseshit detector has gone a little screwy:

If this election were about which candidate people wanted as their child's schoolteacher, Barack Obama would be moving to the head of the class. They'd also rather watch a football game with him, but only by inches.

Are you kidding me? Isn't "who would you rather have as your child's president" really the only relevant question? Because, despite the premise of the piece, this election is not, nor will it ever be, about which candidate people want as their child's schoolteacher. IT REALLY, REALLY ISN'T!!!
