But you're right. It's nearly a moot point.
"It would look completely manufactured and may potentially backfire on Bush. I can wait another couple of days for that evil coward Bin Laden's head on a platter."
I don't think the media has enough time to spin this the way they'd like. I think most people would see it as a big plus for Bush. After a few days of the media getting hold of it, they'll do a job on it, but it will be too late then. (btw - I don't think it's binLaden)
I can wait a couple days, too, provided Bush wins.
