2. They are claiming

The poll jump will only last a week or two! Boy are they in for a surprise!

McCain has been trying to "introduce" himself for some time now, and Obama has just gotten the nomination. Once people get to see them, and hear their plans, McCain is going to be in big trouble! The media has given him pretty much a free ride because they were to interested in the Obama Clinton fight, now that it's over I don't think McCain is going to be getting the "free ride" anymore. Sure the media, which is owned by right wing corporations, will be biased, but he has been making so many mistakes, and his team has been in the spotlight because they were, and are, lobbyists. Even though he got rid of some, he has a lot more of them, and it will come to light in the next few weeks, of that I am sure.

It's the good old republican spin, but it's going to be hard for McCain, and they know it!

3. If I had to make a prediction on the polls...

Obama will continue to rise next week, especially with Hillary coming out an endorsing him. He'll build a 10-15 point lead in the polls and stay there throughout June. Then in July his numbers will level a bit, maybe dip to 7-8 points until he announces his vice presidential candidate. The numbers will rise again, level off again and remain upper single digits until the Democratic Convention, when it soars back up to 15+ points. McCain will get a bounce at the GOP convention, but it won't be enough to really cut into Obama's lead and by October, Obama leads McCain nationally by 10.
