I thought there were laws in place to prevent candidates from colluding with each other against other candidates. Am I wrong, or are there federal election laws to force candidates to run against each other, and to not coordinate their campaigns against a third candidate?

Is it illegal for candidates to collude with each other against a third candidate in order to influence the election?

(psst! -— Sheehan/Boxer in 08 - pass it on...!)No way. Barbara Boxer's has reached her highest and best use as a foil for Dianne Feinstein. She makes Feinstein look sort of intelligent.
Sheehan makes everyone look more intelligent. If they ran together it could end the world as we know it.

It is not only legal, but commonplace for candidates in strong positions to seek to squaxh weaker candidates like a bug in a corner. Sometimes "non-partisan" organizations and "impartial" companies are enlisted to help the dirty work.
In 1976 I represented both Gene McCarty (independent) and George Wallace's American Party who went all the way to the US Supreme Court over the exclusion of those two candidates from the Presidential Debates. That exclusion was sought by the Republican and Democrat candidates. But the League of Women Voters and all three major networks cooperated in the scheme. It was ruled to be legal every step of the way.

I hit the post button accidentally early. Squaxh = squash. And the candidate in addition to McCarthy was Lester Maddox.
