While Strickland's campaign was terrible, I'm going to say Kirk ran the worst campaign. He made several high profile gaffes and likely made life harder for down-ballot Republicans in the state (e.g. Bob Dold). I know Kirk was always projected to lose, but Duckworth didn't run a great campaign either and it should've been a more competitive race. It's pretty embarrassing to be an incumbent that loses by 14 percentage points, especially in a cycle that was rather favorable to your party.
