If there's a "blue wave" coming in 2018, someone may have forgotten to tell Oregon's voters. A Republican challenger has pulled even with blue state Oregon's Democratic incumbent governor, according to a new poll.

The news comes as a surprise in a state that hasn’t seen a Republican governor since late 1980s, sparking fears of the end of Democratic Party’s total domination of the state.

The poll indicates that Republican state Rep. Knute Buehler is waging a serious challenge to Gov. Kate Brown, a vocal critic of President Trump, with both candidates getting support from 45 percent of likely voters, the Oregonian reported.

There will be no blue wave. People are finding work again. They vote with the wallets.

The only "Blue Wave" is their hopes and dreams flushing down the toilet...

Not to mention the most important of all: gerrymandered districts.

They'll probably find some causal link to the electoral college as well.

2002.

I don’t know about the Rs gaining seats, but I’m plenty skeptical about Fransicko Nan reclaiming the gavel.

So, a state that hillary won by 10 (51-41) in 2016 is now a toss up?

Interesting.

People will vote with their wallets.
