For the record: I disagree with your interpretation of her comments.
However, for the sake of argument, I'll consider your interpretation that she probably does think Obama will get the votes of these die-hard democrats in the general. Of course this begs the question: On what basis then does she think she is more electable than Obama?
On the basis that, oh I don't know, the polls prove it? She leads McCain by a larger margin in many polls.
Also, being someone who actually studies demographics, it's also been proven that Republicans are more likely to vote for Clinton over their dissatisfaction with McCain. Whereas more Clinton supporters are more likely to vote for McCain over their dissatisfaction with Obama. I don't have the link to these polls, they were performed during the recent primaries.
Clinton can guarantee wins in Pennsylvania, Florida, Michigan, Arkansas, Ohio, and New Jersey. She actually stands a chance in West Virginia, Tennessee, and possibly even Texas.
If Obama is the nominee, expect to see the aforementioned states turn red this November.
