This whole discussion is another example of the media and the public falling for a strategy Clinton has gone back to over and over through this campaign. While the media reports on this he said/she said story, the public has to keep hearing that somebody (fill in the blank) has questioned Obama's electability. This is the strategy - to make headline news that associates Obama with something negative without going on record with actual criticism. Hopefully the public is smart enough to dismiss this but the tactic is to elevate a non-story with the intention of raising doubts about Obama's electability.
Clinton is one step short of saying "Obama is electable, as far as I know."
