US Senate seats that went from Democratic to Republican in 2014 due to retirement.

IA(Harkin-D)
MT(Baucus-D/Walsh-D)
SD(Johnson-D)
WV(Rockefeller-D)

If Harkin(D-IA) ran for re-election in 2014 against Ernst(R-IA), How would Harkin-D do against Ernst-R?
If Baucus(D-MT) had not been selected Ambassador to China by President Obama and ran for re-election in 2014 against Daines(R-MT), How would Baucus-D do against Daines-R?
If Johnson(D-SD) ran for re-election in 2014 against Rounds(R-SD), How would Johnson-D do against Rounds-R?
If Rockefeller(D-WV) ran for re-election in 2014 against Moore Capito(R-WV), How would Rockefeller-D do against Moore Capito-R?

IA- Harkin-D would have defeated Ernst-R.
MT- Baucus-D would have defeated Daines-R
SD- Johnson-D vs Rounds-R would have been a Tossup.
WV- Rockefeller-D would have defeated Moore Capito-R.
