While it's true Democrats would've had much better odds at holding the Senate had they all run, retirements happen. It's not like you can force them to run at gunpoint if they don't want to.

If he didn't retire they wouldn't have had to spend millions defending it (granted, Republicans wouldn't have spent millions there either).

Shelley would have defeated Rockefeller.

Even if she would have, the point is that the GOP would've needed to fight for it rather than have it as an automatic pickup.

Blame Harkin (especially) and Baucus. Most of the others would've gone Republican anyway (or D in MI) regardless. Even then, that's only 2 losses, they would have to blame their own incumbents for their losses instead of retirements.

I'm pretty sure Baucus would've lost as well. Only Harkin really mattered here, I think.
