This seems like a pretty good reason to me...

If Bush just pulled some strings and Bin Laden fell out right now, people would have time to investigage a lot before the elections and there would, more than likely, be some scandal or conspiracy theory ( much like some found in this thread ) flying around.... and even more mud-slinging. Fun.
