Predictions for tomorrows debate: What will Obama say on DLs?

Wolf Blizter confirmed on air this evening that the "issue" of drivers licenses for undocumented aliens will be covered in the Dem debate he is moderating tomorrow.

We know that Hillary has dropped the issue as of today, reversing her somewhat vague earlier position. I'm not sure where Edwards is on it.... mysterious. Dodd is no. Richardson is yes. And Obama is, at least as of the last debate, an unqualified yes. Obama is to be complemented for his clear support of this issue. I agree with his position. (I also think it is political suicide, like many things I agree with... sigh)

The question is, when asked about the issue at tomorrow night's debate, how will Obama handle it. Whatever the answer, he won't be shooting from the hip. Clinton, Edwards and Obama will all have memorized, practiced positions on the topic.

Will Senator Obama hang tough on his support (setting himself as odd man out on the issue), bail out (joining the safety of the pack), or try for a vague middle course (which got Clinton in trouble last time)?

On Edit: Also, what will Edwards say? (He seems to be at a nuanced, flippy "no" of some sort. Will he join Clinton's "will not support..." statement?)
