How would the Ohio Senate race turned out if this had happened?

Hmmm thats a hard call.  I definately don't think Kucinich would have done as well in the Southeast as Brown did.  I think it would be a lot closer but Kucinich could have pulled it off.  Something like 51%-49% Kucinich victory maybe.

DeWine would not have had to advertise and would not have started a series of screwups.

I don't recall any major screw-ups coming out of DeWine's camp.  It was just a bad year for Republicans in Ohio.  DeWine would have had trouble regardless of the candidate really.  Taft and Balckwell pulled the entire GOP down.

Kucinich is probably the one Democrat that could not have won that race.

You think Tubbs Jones could have done better?  Kucinich could have pulled it off.  It would have been close but he could have done it.  Strickland's strong coattails combined with a bad year for the GOP would have carried him into office.  He would be destroyed in 2012 though.
