Isn't this more or less a confirmation that she did say that? If her statement was accurate, why put out a correction?


There's something odd about this retraction. If she, in fact, didn't say that to Richardson, there was no need for her staff to bring up that she "misheard" the question. Her answer to the reporter, even if she was mistaken as to the question, would have been accurate.

As such, the only real reason to bring this up would be that, in fact, she did tell Richardson that Obama can't win.
