No, if the GOP puts up a Candidate he will lose by 20 points and make Obama a political legend. If he runs unopposed, Obama and the Democrats will never really know how popular or politically strong Obama is. Additionally, the GOP can always say "Obama has never been tested" in a statewide race.

I see we completely disagree on this. After 36 years of following American politics as a conservative Republican and political junkie, my take is different then yours. You never, ever allow the loyal opposition to run a candidate for a seat in the US Senate unopposed. Never! Statewide election, maybe. In local community elections it happens all the time. The GOP needs to find the best candidate and run with him or her.
