JJ, I respect you, but I think this campaign has put the blinkers on you a bit - and a lot of other people.
Obam,a is in PA because it's a very important state, one he needs to win, and one which historically is a close one. Sure, he's leading, but it never hurts to solidify a lead, plus excite potential donors.
McCain is in Iowa because it is one of the states that he could win if there is an event to shake up this election (just as PA is a state that Obama could theoretically lose).
As for the September fundraising, I'm not sure. Probably it's either way above expectations or a bit below, so his campaign is waiting for the right point in the news cycle either way.
