Personally I have my doubts
All three of the major contenders have said they favor closing the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. (The Candidates on Military Tribunals and Guantanamo Bay - Council on Foreign Relations)

I expect some current detainees to be prosecuted and some to be freed, as they have been. I also expect the next President will continue to detain some enemy combatants without trial, wherever that may be.
