No, virtually no difference, IMO. The polls prior to that first debate largely showed a LOT of room for ground to be made up, and pollsters shifted to show a more energized GOP base. Also, I do think conservatives after that first debate did harden on Romney - it was the excuse they were looking for, but it did not depress Dems and would not have changed the EC map much if at all.
The only difference might have been some of those margins in PA, WI, etc., especially if Romney had been same-old and Obama had performed better.
