RNC Statement on Chambliss Victory in Georgia Senate Runoff
WASHINGTON, Dec 02, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Robert M. "Mike" Duncan released the following statement tonight.
"When voters in Georgia reelected Saxby Chambliss to the United States Senate today, they selected a strong, conservative leader who shares their values and could be trusted to uphold the Republican principles of lower taxes and a strong defense. His reelection sends a clear message that the Republican Party and our core conservative principles are alive and well.
"Tonight's victory was a team effort between the Chambliss Campaign, the Georgia Republican Party, the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the RNC. We combined a strong, conservative candidate in Senator Chambliss with a grassroots effort that leveraged technology to reach millions of Georgians via mail, phone, Internet, and in person. We shared our message of conservative principles and Georgians agreed.
"As we head into the 2010 cycle, tonight's result sends a strong and confident message to those committed to electing candidates who stand by the core principles upon which our Party was founded." Paid for by the Republican National Committee.

Divorce Calculator shows odds your marriage will last
Marriage may be hard work, but divorce can be financially cataclysmic. Can't happen to you,? That kind of denial is one reason that divorce brings about economic disaster, since planning for that eventuality seems disloyal. Nonetheless, 43% of first marriages in the U.S. end within 15 years, according to the CDC. One in five will end within five years, one in three with ten years.
The statistics vary according to a number of variables, and divorce360.com has created a Marriage Calculator (which I'd call a divorce calculator) that, based on the averages taken from census data, will give you odds on your marriage lasting. Enter gender, date of marriage, education, age when married, and number of years married to calculate the estimate.
For example:
If you are a male high-school dropout married after 1980, at the age of 20 or younger, and have been married for five years --13% of people with your background have already divorced, and 26% will be divorced over the next five years.
If you are a female without children married after 1980 with a high school diploma who was 22 to 24 at the time of your marriage and have been married two years so far -- 2% of those with similar backgrounds have divorced already, and 13% more will do so over the next five years.
Female with kids, married 1960-1979, college grad, married at 23 or 24, and have been married now for 30 years-- 28% of those sharing your background have already divorced, and 2% more will divorce over the next five years. I'm pleased to report that 0% of those sharing my background will divorce in the next five years.
Of course, these are very coarse projections, but if you are in a category with high divorce rates, you might want to learn a little more about why marriages fail so you can head off possible destructive conflicts.
