I say Bayh ran the worst campaign, as he went from leading by double digits in the polls to losing by 10%. He couldn't answer basic questions, and from I understand, he came across as arrogant and entitled.
Strickland at least had the excuse of facing off against a strong opponent in Portman. He messed up like crazy too, but he wasn't hyped up as much as Bayh. Both of them seemed to want to waltz into their seats though.
Feingold also did badly, though I can't tell if its mostly his fault, or the fact that it was a bad year for Midwestern Democrats. Or if Ron Johnson was a genuinely strong opponent.
And being a Utahn, I have to look at Misty Snow's campaign, in which she didn't even crack 30%, though most of that is not her fault. I do think she ran a lackluster campaign outside of Salt Lake City, and seemed to want to only appeal to Salt Lake City Democrats. Though I don't think Jonathan Swinton would've done any better.
