In polling for all three debates up until now, voters have by a wide margin considered Obama and Biden the winners. This final debate is considered Obama's "home court advantage", and we know how that worked against McCain. So we'll see what happens.
Remember the general rule is: As long as there are no game changers, Obama wins. McCain could even conceivably win on a technical level, but if he doesn't fundamentally change the flow of the race he still loses.
