Newt Gingrich could be facing a win-or-walk-away situation in the Deep South on Tuesday -- and the early numbers are not promising for the trailing presidential candidate, with two new polls showing him behind in Alabama.

The new polls each showed a different leader in the state, neither of them Gingrich. In an Alabama Education Association poll, Mitt Romney was ahead. A survey out of Alabama State University gave the lead to Rick Santorum.

Gingrich's campaign brushed off the results. But they underscore the challenge the former House speaker faces.

His entire campaign strategy rests on big wins in southern states -- the next of which, Alabama and Mississippi, vote Tuesday. Though Gingrich won big in his home state of Georgia on Super Tuesday, that strategy suffered a blow after he also lost Tennessee to Santorum. And if Gingrich loses either Mississippi or Alabama on Tuesday, or both, he could be left with an almost invisible path to the nomination...

Mitt Romney hewed out another victory on Super Tuesday, chopping wins out in six of 10 states and edging Rick Santorum in make-or-break Ohio.

With the Ohio win, Romney averted what would have been a disaster. If Santorum had added the Buckeye State to his win column Tuesday, it would have dramatically changed the trajectory of the presidential race.

Santorum certainly solidified his position as the top Not Romney in the race, spreading his three victories across the country – North Dakota, Oklahoma and Tennessee. The Oklahoma and Tennessee victories were also his first primary wins, having won only caucuses up until this week...

The Alliance Defense Fund is contacting school districts in Tennessee to correct some fallacies from the ACLU about celebrating Christmas.

"I think it's another story of the Grinch who stole Christmas," says David Cortman, senior counsel with the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF). According to the attorney, the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee sent a letter to every school district in The Volunteer State.

"...Basically saying," explains Cortman, "that if you're going to celebrate any aspect of Christmas at all, then you're constitutionally required to celebrate every holiday -- which of course is not true"...

A Tennessee town and a California county have bowed to pressure from the ACLU on Christmas decorations.

The City of Clarksville, Tennessee, has agreed to stop funding a nativity display to ensure that all groups have equal access to the park where it is placed. The American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee says it received complaints about the display earlier this year and approached the city about the changes.

According to a news release from the ACLU, the city annually invites a private church to produce the nativity display, helps pay for the live animals used in the display, and promotes it as part of the city's "Christmas on the Cumberland" event...
