My notes on this from the Clinton call weren't clear, but USA Today posts the audio, which is.
On the Clinton call earlier, Mark Penn said, "We believe that [the Pennsylvania primary result] will show that Hillary is ready to win, and that Sen. Obama really can’t win the general election."
He later revised it to say that losing Pennsylvania would raise questions about Obama's ability to win.
But it's a pretty strong thing to say.
The logical question for Penn, which I'm not sure was ever asked, is "why not?" Had somebody asked that question Penn would have probably stumbled around, and if honest, would have eventually gotten back to race, at which point another Clinton staffer would have had to resign...him.
