Only if you assume that the people who voted for Hil in the primarily won't vote for Obama in the general or that they are somehow representative of how non-primary voters will vote.
There is certainly a set of people that fall into the first group, but who knows how big it is, or whether it is bigger than the set of voters that Obama can bring tot he table who wouldn't vote for Hillary. Regardless, nearly all of the primary voters will vote Dem (and vote) in the general.
On the second point, I'm not sure that how primary voters broke out says anything at all about how the general will go.
