Will you also be addressing spatial inflation, or is Guth's theories a bit too theoritical for mainline physics?

We can, indeed, talk about inflation. Inflation is generally accepted as part of the standard model anyway nowadays, since it irons out some of the problems of cosmology. I was planning on talking about the evidence for the acceleration of the universe at the present day first, but then I can go on to talk about inflation if you would like. (It may take a while to write; but we've got the whole month havn't we!) Feel free to add anything you feel may be relevant, Pat, and others.
