Why does the launch of a geostationary satellite have a launch window?

While watching the scrubbed SES-9 launch the other night this occurred to me. If the ultimate position of the craft is relative to the launch site why would there be time restrictions of the launch?

The launch window is more than the feasibility of launching at that time from an orbital standpoint.  It also has to do with scheduling the availability of government and vendor personell to perform the launch itself.  Even range safety officers have to go home to their families.
