I think armyofme may have been alluding to Reagan-Bush's secret negotiations with the Iranians that delayed the hostages' release. Carter's perceived inaction (or failed action) contributed to a sway in public opinion and, likely, to his loss that year.
Maybe Kerry can delay the capture of Bin Laden until after the election.
