I don't think Ross Perot and Ralph Nader are easy answers to this question.

In an open seat election, people may think "who is the best person to run our nation?". But in an election in which an incumbent is running for reelection, people think "should this admistration be continued for four more years or not?".
If the people approve the administration, they will vote for the incumbent no matter if there are one, two or three opponents. An election in which an incumbent is seeking reelection looks like a plebiscite. Do you agree?
