Hey look, Romney's small lead in a poll is not "essentially tied"

Because the Golden Rule states that if Romney lead by 2% in a particular poll, the lead will not be converted into a "virtual tie" or "essetially tied" by the MSM. This tie will only occur if Obama is the one who holds a narrow lead.

Side note: No bump for Romney in Gallup or Rasmussen yet.
