A legit Tea Party candidate (or perhaps Ron Paul) entering the general election would guarantee Obama victory, yeah. But I doubt anyone will actually decide to run, knowing the consequences (4 more years of Obama).
This isn't neccessarily true.
The closer an election is the less likely people are to vote for a third party.
It appears people care more about someone losing than someone winning.
