After every debate comes the inevitable spin from both sides, plus a mainstream media invested in keeping things

close. Wednesday's final presidential debate was no exception, with some astute observers declaring Barack Obama the clear winner, and others pushing a romp for McCain.

The real test of a debate winner, however, is in the eye of the beholder, and a new Gallup poll shows that Obama spent the third debate making sure that John McCain's timekeeping device was immaculate.

How badly did Obama clean McCain's clock? With a 26 point margin of victory, I'd say that thing was sterilized.

This completes a sweep for Obama, who won the other two debates by 12 and 33 points, respectively, according to Gallup.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
