I read the Oregon Constitution’s section on recall elections and, unless I’m missing something, Oregon voters only get to kick out the officer, not select his replacement, and recalled officers are replaced as they otherwise would if there was a resignation (which in the case of a governor would be by the Secretary of State). So, unless I’m mistaken, it wouldn’t make a difference whether Kitzhaber resigns or gets recalled, since either way he would be replaced by that bisexual moonbat that Soros got elected as Secretary of State.
Kitzhaber could have been kept out of returning to the governorship in 2010, but too many Oregon conservatives decided to waste their vote on the nominees of the Constitution Party and the Libertarian Party (neither one of whom received as much as 1.50%, much less have a shot at winning), presumably because Chris Dudley wasn’t as conservative as Jim DeMint, and thus they preferred for Kitzhaber to win.
OK, I just checked out the Oregon laws regarding vacancies in state offices. Section 249.215 provides that if a vacancy occurs more than two months prior to the next general election in the state (which will be in Nov. 2016), then at such general election the voters would elect someone to serve for the remaining 2+ years of the term:

So whether Kitzhaber resigns or is recalled, Brown will become governor, but Oregonians would get to elect a new governor (for the 2+ years remaining in the term) in Nov. 2016. I assume that Brown, as governor, would be able to appoint her successor as Secretary of State, but there would be an election for a new 4-year term as Secretary of State in Nov. 2016.
