CNN's Crowley cropped Obama quote, omitting his assertion that "[w]e're going to have to fight" every day until election

SUMMARY: On Anderson Cooper 360, Candy Crowley asserted: "The polls nationwide and in the battlegrounds suggest if the election were held today, Barack Obama would win. They feel it in the crowds, and he feels it, too." Crowley then aired a clip of Obama stating, "I feel like we've got a righteous wind at our backs." But Crowley left out the rest of Obama's statement: "[B]ut we're going to have to work. We're going to have to struggle. We're going to have to fight for every single one of those 13 days to move this country in a new direction."
