Doesn't Oregon have runoff elections for statewide offices ?

No, based on what I found out here (http://sos.oregon.gov/elections/Documents/elec_law_summary.pdf) and here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_Oregon).  The state votes by mail once, and apparently, that's it. Runoffs have been proposed in the past, but they haven't become law in that state.

GA is the only (non-jungle primary state) that has general election runoffs.

The polls are looking like Merkley will have a larger margin of victory than Kitzhaber. I thought it would be the opposite.

VT has the state legislature decide.
