And had O'Donnell won, who would be Senate Majority leader? Harry Reid.

Yup - and we got Harry Reid as Majority Leader. Fine trade? In the long run, not taking the Senate was probably a good thing. The Republican majority in the House has the power of the purse and can actively thwart the Democrat agenda for the next two years. Not having control of the Senate, IMO, puts the Republicans in a better position to capture the White House in 2012.
