Will the Debates sway the Election?

At this point those that are hardcore Democrats or Republicans will never change their minds no matter what is said.  I know people who will not vote for either party even if the devil himself was running for President.  I believe this thinking is idiotic but that is how they are.  Thus the election will come down to those like me who are Independents.  At this point I would imagine many Independent voters have probably made up their minds as well unless Obama or Romney really screw up one of the debates and causes voters to change their minds.
