Obama Going Nuclear

If this report from First Read is right, Obama's campaign manager, David Plouffe, just said Hillary can't win in November:

Plouffe called Clinton "a deeply flawed candidate," who could not win the independent voters that "provide a pathway to the presidency."

A simple syllogism:

1. Independent voters are the pathway to the presidency
2. Hillary can't win them
Conclusion: Hillary can't win the presidency.

I've heard the candidates say nasty things about each other. Going so far as to state that one would make us less safe than the other.

But this is the first time I can recall one side saying the other one *could not* win the presidency in November.

Anyone have a Clinton statement like this?
